Sorry forgot to answer this.

Yes - I use ImagesPlus which lets you automate a series of exposures. You can set the exposure time, ISO, filename and delay between images (and whether mirror lockup/in-camera noise reduction is set), and it will do the rest.

The files are automatically downloaded onto your computer too, so nothing needs to be stored on the camera.

You can set whether to display the image after it downloads it, so you can check the progress of each exposure - but if you're taking in RAW, it can take an extra 10-15s to convert to jpeg for display.
