[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 742251, member: 46724"] [ATTACH=CONFIG]344561._xfImport[/ATTACH] The CamRanger2 replacement finally showed up, this one is defect free, so glad I decided to get one! Tons of features but the thing that helped me most is the timer works with bulb mode. I was able to extend my shutter times a little, restricted because my alignment was a bit off last night. [ATTACH=CONFIG]344562._xfImport[/ATTACH] @[URL="https://nikonites.com/member-48483-bf-hammer.html"]BF Hammer[/URL] I hear ya about the tree issues. Here's a shot of my yard, I can just barely see Polaris above the maple tree in the north and then have a limited viewing angle to the east before pine trees block my view. The above image of Andromeda was an hour worth of 1 minute exposures, the last 6 had tree branches in the right corner but it sure beats having to travel to get the shots. So far, I've shot Andromeda galaxy, Pinwheel galaxy, Pliades, and the North American nebula. The practice of getting the shots is coming along smoothly since I've been lucky enough for clear skies the last couple weeks, I am able to apply changes to my technique and learn from my mistakes quicker than if I only went out once a month. At this rate, lack of sleep is catching up with me but I can't resist a new toy and clear nights! [/QUOTE]
