GuideMaster EOS plugin installation Bulb

Pleasant surprise GuideMaster the new version of the most intuitive software guide.
Besides the ease of use, the main feature of the software, confirms the presence of the patch for the Italian language, which can also be regarded as superfluous, and the new plugin for the Canon EOS USB. This last feature was a pleasant surprise, because until now I have not found any free software that would manage while driving and acquisition of reflex digicIII.

We come to trial in field tests ... two nights of clouds and fog


plugin installed you will immediately notice the new toolbar submenu Cameratimer and the appearance in General \\ Setup \\ DSLR settings for the new position Eos control Bulb USB enabled that allows control of the camera by GuideMaster.

Below is the dithering box where you can set the radius of the dither automatic pixel (applied to the guide). To the right is the
window of time that you can use to acquire.
If the acquisition time chosen was different, you can add more simply pressing the window add time.

To capture using the submenu on the toolbar CameraTimer that activates the window in which you must enter
1. the number of exposures to be made
2. choose the shutter speed
3. set the interval between laying and the next.
Once you set the options from the beginning to the series of shots Begin Exoposure .

The program being acquired by handling the installation keeps promises bulb and saving images captured on camera's memory card
The strength is not his strong point, GuideMaster it crashed several times during the evening, the rest is a beta version so some minor inconvenience is tolerated.

I found some bugs :

1) If the camera goes into standby mode the program does not recognize, a problem shared by other software from canon.
2) You can not access the setup (General setup) when the telescope is connected, even change the parameters of the dslr, otherwise the program stops.
3) The program crashes if the screen saver is activated and, if there is no off standby.

conclusion priority is the order in which various operations are performed at the end of the first night I called this lineup that did not give me problems:
1) Composition of the picture, focus and choice of the exposure time through the canon software
2) Open GuideMaster
3) setting in the setup window of the camera control via USB, the shutter speed, the radius of the dithering, rescue.
4) Open the menu CameraTimer
5) setting the rest of the setup parameters of the program, save it.
6) Preparing guidance and calibration
7) Setting the parameters of the window cameratimer.

9) Start guide
