Thanks for the kind comment
I use Backyard EOS (BYEOS) for framing , focus and capture it’s absolutely brilliant
When I first started in this hobby I use to stand next to the mount and scope and use a canon remote shutter release switch with 2m cord and take my subs manually , put up with this for a year (a year too long )
I’ve been using Backyard EOS (BYEOS) for 2 years now and it’s now set and forget
The main screen gives you everything need for long exposure DSLR Astrophotography , framing , focus ,capture plan , ISO , sensor temperature, live view , drift align tool , planetary imaging mode , the whole box and dice. There is also a version called Backyard Nikon for Nikon DSLR’s
I’m progressing later in the year to a OSC cooled CMOS camera so currently learning Astrophotography Tool (APT) indoors on my table with a PC. APT does have a program for DSLR’s but it’s more suited for dedicated Astro cameras. I find BYEOS better than APT for DSLR Astrophotography ( others would probably disagree)

Photos attached of my outdoor laptop with BYEOS running ( capture of Omega Centauri last week ) showing sensor temperature

Cheers
Martin
