Gee Joe! Talk about destroy my assumptions. And now is the time to do it not after I get to Cairns.
I want to try and get this straight in my head.
If you would tell me where I am off track for my revised sequence please.

Canon 5D Mk 2 on Tak FSQ106-EDX with Tak Reducer > 385mm @ F 3.64 on EQ6

1: Canon in LiveView with mirror Locked up

2. ISO set to 100

3. This is the falling off the cliff bit. How do I run a full shutter sequence from 1/4000 to 4 secs. Twice if possible.

I have just got a Phottix timer from Hong Kong but as far as I can see the maximum number of bracketed exposures is 7 at one stop steps. If I want a 4 sec longest exposure this would only give me from 1/60 to 4 secs.

Is there a PC program I can run off a laptop to give 1/4000 to 4 secs limited only by the speed of writing to the card?

I assume (again after being wrong every time before) that the shortest exposures are to capture the corona close to the sun, and so on further out from the sun???

I will try and limit myself to no more than 5 questions (and 2 or 3 assumptions) per post.

Thanks Joe,

Brian Coote
