Dooh I just realised ....its not a uniform linear drop off and ramp up of light. Its more exponential.

So in that case, is there maybe a bright spark out there that could code a sequence ( sorry I'm not savvy on the open source coding stuff) that would be in time with the eclipse and could control the DSLR via Freds doohicky? ( or similar device ( arduino) sorry... is Freds device based on Arduino? )
I'm guessing that the parameters would have to be from previous experiences.....so that would difficult.
I guess thats why I thought that eyeballing would be the go.......
As you said Colin, Dslr's aren't fast enough......Go NASA

Bartman....going to bed now.....
hope I didn't make to much sense
