However, I wouldn't be going to try and hunt for really faint fuzzies as 1 minute subs will really not be long enough to capture them well. Bright DSO's like M42, M8, M31 etc etc, will be more your targets. Planets will be drop dead easy....don't really have to guide at all (just track), but you'll need a different camera to photograph them. A webcam will be sufficient for this purpose, with some slight mods.
Awesome that sounds like some very promising news. I'm looking forward to see just what I come up with, just using this method to start off.

Thanks again Carl

Dont need shutter cable, just USB cable.

Also need power for camera, go get an adapter, dont rely on batteries.
That will be my next purchase

I'm was wondering if backyard EOS or other programs alike had USB shutter control, makes since. Cheers for letting me know about that Trevor.
