[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 115528, member: 8330"] Can you tell us the settings you're using? I played around with it on a D7000 and was able to get some decent results. I might be wrong but I think setting an interval too short could cause the issue you're having. Without knowing your settings I would recommend moving your interval to 35 seconds and see how many pictures you get off. Here were the settings I used on my D7000: I set the camera up for shutter priority and set it for 30'. ISO was 100 and I was using the 18-105mm kit lens at 18mm and [URL="http://nikonites.com/products/slr-2/f6-128/"][COLOR=#ac0000]f6[/COLOR][/URL].3. Turned off AF and manually focused on a faint star. I set the interval timer to start at 21:30 (9:30PM). The interval is set at 34 seconds. And the last setting, "intervals x no. of shots =" I set it so that it looked like this 200 x 1 = 200. Basically 200 snaps at 34' intervals. I found it worked perfectly to set the interval at 34' when the shutter priority was set to 30'.
