Description
Let your computer do the work while you watch the eclipse
This program will allow a compatible Canon camera to capture the events of the eclipse with the proper exposures and timing. The user is required to provide the coordinates AND IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE CORRECT TIME. The program then takes over scripting what photo is required when. It also assists in focusing. It will operate with either a telescope or a lens.
This App is rated 17+ since an adult should be operating the camera during an eclipse. Adults should review the important safety information on the support URL before pointing a camera at the sun.
What’s New
Version 2.0.1
CaptureEclipse 2.0 is a major upgrade to the version many of you used in April. The full list of changes is on https://almadenobservatory.net/CaptureEclipse, but here is a summary.
- Completely redesigned the TestDelay to make it more robust, to provide more accurate diagnostics, and to not be confused if the camera contains test simulations.
- Provided more comprehensive error messages
- Provide optional background download of images during script execution. It will also allow the user to download all camera images when the script is not running.
- Special support for most R Series Cameras - Selected models of the R Series (e.g. R8) allow more exposures to occur during the bursts by actively managing the shutter mode. R Series cameras can now be used with a telescope.
- redesigned partial generator to allow 1% increments
- will do a "best effort" on cameras that do not have a sufficient max shutter speed. Note for the R8 it is more clever as noted above.
