automating exposure program help needed

Does anyone know of a freeware or at least cheapware program that will allow me to automate exposure runs of say 10 x 6 minute exposures.

the cameras i am using are cannon dslrs 300d and 350d.

thanking you in anticipation.

I use the software that came with my 40D but I don't think it will work with the 300d or 350d.

I've used the software you've downloaded from stark labs.However to go past 30s exposures you'll need a DSUSB adapter. shoestring astronomy make them .

Hi Chris
Yes it would be good but as said above you need a remote control to go beyond 30 secs with that program. You can make them or buy it from shoestring astro.
