[QUOTE="MartinCornwall, post: 448732, member: 12701"] If you are not planning on doing a Starstax with the files then use the built in interval timer, but set it to 32secs for 30 sec exposure as at 31 secs the camera delays will catch up with themselves and stop the shots. In the future buy a cable release for a few bucks and you can press and lock these to take shots with the only delay being the shutter closing and opening for the next shot. Your camera will have a limit of 100 consecutive releases but if you unlock the cable release mid exposure and then lock it again as your nearing the 100 shot limit it will reset the counter. Starstax with the interval timer will produce gaps and the cable release over comes this. You could use the remote but you'd end up with a sore thumb pressing it all night ;) [/QUOTE]
