Hi there….
I'm pretty new to timelapse and have been doing some tests with my Nikons (D4 & D800). Test results show that the built-in intervalometer measures start-of-shot to start-of-next-shot. (Originally I thought that it probably measured end-of-shot to start-of-next-shot, but that wasn't the case.)
Can anyone confirm this behavior, and that the built-in Nikon intervalometer will work reliably with long (astro) timelapses? Generally my night timelapse sequences are 30sec exposures with about a 4sec interval, so setting the Nikon intervalometer to 34 seconds seems to work. But something seems to be a bit unreliable about the way it functions at very long exposures.
I have a Promote that I can use with one of the cameras if I need to, but I generally like to go out with both cameras and don't really want to purchase another Promote.
Anyone have any suggestions? (BTW, I'm a huge fan of LRTimelapse2… way to go Gunther!)
(thanks)
