Multiexposure video

[Robert Lancaster]

Hi there,

For an eclipse, it is just as important to get the timing and delay between exposures as well as the variable and preprogrammed exposure times.  A few years ago, I used a program called Solar Eclipse Maestro for my eclipse pictures and it worked very well.  The developer does not seem like a big company, and seemed very passionate.  Perhaps he would be willing to offer some pointers if this is your goal?

Thanks,

For example first frame 0.01 s, second 0.05 s, third 0.1 s, next again 0.01 s, etc. This would be useful for recording objects with very high contrast, like shadowed and non-shadowed parts of the Moon. I don't see such a possibility in KStars/EKOS now, is anybody working on it? If not, I think I will start it.
