Also, these DSLR camera control programs have focus routines built into them and control of much more....focuser's, telescope mounts thru ASCOM etc etc.
Spend a few $ on a program and toss the EOS canon utility....you will be glad you did after first use! APT even has a freeware version that has most function enabled so give it a go. |
Ah ok, I'm not adverse to spending the money where required and if something like one of these programs will help a lot then I'll grab one. As I mentioned previously, I hope to go to CCD camera one day so I was using DSLR as a stepping stone and not investing heavily in it for software. Still, I prefer to avoid needless pain, so I'll look into these programs.
