My camera takes a 20 second Exp, but then it takes another 20 secs to process. Therefore I need to set the timer interval to around 45 seconds ?

Sounds like you have "in camera noise correction" on too Stu - so its always going to take a matching dark frame for the length of your exposure. Alternative is to turn that off and use library darks, which gives you more imaging time, but requires you take darks at some conditions (temp mainly). I used to use the EOS software for focusing (liveview) and all my image capture. Very nice to get the PC and camera doing the hard work while you put your feet up and enjoy the sky!
