Hi Gunther (and whomever else could help me),
I just started getting into Qdslrdashboard with my Nikon D750. So far I've really enjoyed working with it and now I'm attempting all sorts of new things - so thank you for the recommendation to use this for holy grail!
Question 1: Is there a way to prioritize which aspect will increase/decrease first, second, third?
Question 2: Is there a way to ramp the interval timer?
What I'm really looking into is this: I start a sunset holy grail timelapse and want to get a lot of good cloud movement, so I need an interval of maybe 2s. I want the timelapse to go all the way through to several hours into the night to get the Milky Way. At that point I don't need a short interval and can go all the way up to say 30s (since I'll need a 10s - 25s shutter speed). It seems like what I'd need to do is have some sort of macro that says E.G. - when shutter speed gets to 1.5s, ramp interval to 3s, when shutter speed gets to 2.5s, ramp interval to 4s.
^ That above example could obviously be a lot more specific and I'm not sure off the top of my head when which feature should be increased/decreased - but I could see something like this being really useful to me. I also read the setup guide that you wrote where you indicated that I should be using an intervalometer rather than the one built into QDslrdashboard. If that is the case then I'm not sure how what I want to do is possible.
