[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 126617, member: 12496"] I have no idea about the meaning of your terms about bulb ramping and fine grain exposure, but try Camera S mode to "read the light settings from the camera and then physically press the shutter button for the desired length of time". That is what it does. Having done astro though, I have serious doubts the camera can meter the stars however. Sometimes human eyes and brain are the best tools. There are timers that don't meter anything, but they will do Bulb for a programmed time (and do timer delay and interval timer too). Nikon MC-36 is one, but pricey. There are equivalent Yongnuo MC-36b available on Ebay from Hong Kong for $18, and [url=http://www.neewer.com]Free shipping:Camera Accessories,Apple Accessories-Neewer.com[/url] has their label of it for $12 (postage paid from Hong Kong). There are models with different cables for different bodies, I am referring to the D800 model prices. Mine from Yongnuo works fine. [/QUOTE]
