The serial cable is separate and distinct from the USB cable in the context of controlling the camera with Eclipse Orchestrator. What kind of camera are you using? Generally, the live view mode will cause the mirror to lock up. USB IS a serial cable (it stands for Universal Serial Bus). I suppose one could get a USB->Serial adapter. I don't much care for the delay though as it looks like a serial cable is required, a bit of a clue when your laptop doesn't have a serial port. Thanks for your advice! I will investigate EO further with first looking at the free version to see if my IQ is high enough. Two minutes is still plenty long enough to get two complete HDR sequences even with MLU. You just have to live with it for each individual exposure. There aren't many cameras that allow the mirror to be permanently locked up. Plus you will be looking down fooling with the camera and the eclipse will be over and you won't even have experienced it! You will have the camera moving from touching it and it will take longer for those vibrations to die down. Manually taking multiple images and changing the shutter speed by hand is, to me, the worst possible way to do it. You will still have overhead if you need to use MLU and as I will show in my astrophotography column on my blog tomorrow, you probably need to seriously need to think about using MLU.

Eclipse Orchestrator (EO) on the PC is similar. Solar Eclipse Maestro (SEM) on the Mac is the most powerful eclipse automation software.

Adjusted the ∆T value for TSE 2019 (69.357s) and ASE 2019 (69.Using your exposures, just the overhead when changing from one setting.īackyardEOS was not made for eclipse photography, it was made for long-exposure deep sky and is not optimized for framing rate at short exposures during a limited time period.

Use of more accurate Besselian elements for TSE 2019, ASE 2019, ASE 2020, TSE 2020, ASE 2021 and TSE 2021.

Improved compatibility with Sierra, High Sierra and Mojave.

Note: While the software is classified as free, it is actually donationware.

Support for all SBIG CCD cameras with their filter wheels,.

Exposure Calculator to find the best exposure for each eclipse event,.

Night-vision mode to preserve your dark adaptation for totality,.

Live View (Lv) mode support to allow easier focusing and exposure compensation,.

A maximum eclipse diagram at the mouse-over location can also be displayed. Eclipse color-coded map with mouse-over geographic cursor coordinates and eclipse duration info to indicate where to move to increase your eclipse duration. Sun/Moon diagram and large event countdown display. Refraction, lunar limb profile effects, and ∆T correction supported. Observer position (latitude and longitude coordinates, altitude) is used to calculate local circumstances so that camera actions can be referenced to specific eclipse events. Actions can be preprogrammed according to a script. To help you enjoy the event, it can controls up to four USB or Firewire connected cameras (Nikon and Canon DSLRs, plus Nikon Coolpix line) and up to four USB or Ethernet connected SBIG CCD cameras with their filter wheels during an eclipse so that you can be free to concentrate on observing the event visually. It can handle any solar eclipse, provide you Baily's beads preview and animation, simulate an all-sky view or weather statistics, and a lot more. Solar Eclipse Maestro is the most versatile and feature-rich application for solar eclipses.
