[QUOTE="MartinCornwall, post: 252692, member: 12701"] Hello all, I have been doing star trails successfully using the built in intravalometer using 30sec exposures with a 32sec interval times x number off shots. While this works for stacking in starstax it is too limited for stacking the shots with satellites moving across the sky. The 2 second gap leave a very big gap due to the speed of the satellites. I have tried a SHOOT external intravalometer which also has a locking cable release to overcome the 2 second gap. On the two occasions that I have tried this using the locking release the camera has stopped taking pictures after 99 files. The buffer remaining indicator has gone to r0 and the camera will no longer take pictures until it is turned off then on again. The buffer can't be filling up on 30sec exposures as there is plenty of time for the buffer to empty between shots. I am using fast Sandisk U1 80Mb/s cards. NEF slot 1 JPEG slot 2.
