Hi Guylain
I've managed to get out and try it now that some of the clouds have dissipated near new moon. I like the software, but I'm having some issues at the moment with my 5D Mark-II (firmware 2.0.8) and BackyardEOS. Once I set multiple exposures to go past 200-seconds, or thereabouts, I receive multiple errors stating that the download process terminated after 90 seconds of trying. I'm confident that it's probably something I'm doing in my camera's settings rather than the software, and that you will come back quickly with a solution or at least a "watch for this" list.
When a timeout occurs, the exposure counter on the camera sits there flashing. It's set to bulb mode and I have turned off all auto-dark frame settings. "Pause" is set to "0".
BTW - what is the software expected to do with a capture plan that dictates multiple long exposures, and L.E. auto darks are actually set to on? Should Pause be set to the dark frame generation time expected if you are creating in-camera darks?
The following log is from a session I've just experimented with this morning, after downloading your latest version (18328).
Cheers - and thanks for a great tool
Chris
