Oh no not another eclipse (Time lapse attempt)

[mswhin63 (Malcolm)]

Hi All,

Had some wonderful night to view the eclipse. This was my first attempt to try and time lapse so be gentle. I initially started by copying DSLR video but once the red moon started to appear the light level was too low. I am still processing that video but will take a lot longer due to loads of data.

Once I realised the levels were not right I then changed to taking DSLR snap shots so unfortunately only got the last portion of the eclipse. Nevermind here it goes.

Thanks Mike and JJ, I have been using AT software V1.6. Unfortunately it doesn't have a plan to take continual timed shots on AV exposure. I had to sit there throughout clicking the mouse on shoot all the time.

Will talk to the developer about this.

Malcolm the 2nd half of the video where you can clearly see Earth's shadow move away is quite good & I certainly enjoyed watching it.

Thanks Darrin,

I am now in the middle of processing the AVI's I created on the first round to see if there is something better. Gonna take a lot longer to process though.
