Hi Nial
What you are intending to do is not to be underestimated in its complexity.
Astro photography can get very complex even without adding another yet another layer
in remote control.
Good for you for being ambitious and the best of luck :-)
A few questions:
1: Can you reliably operate your equipment and produce quality images
from the safety of your backyard?
2: How are your processing skills? Time spent here is time spent wisely.
3: Are you still using a Canon 5D and how would you control it remotely?
I specialised in designing and building remotely operated processing plants.
My first plant was a miniture scaled down version built in the lab.
PLC controlled using small cheap motors, solenoids, relays and sensors.
It took 6 months of work and study to get it to work remotely (and reliably).
Then and only then did I build the real deal (at huge effort and cost).
Regards
Peter
