Problem with LOOP feature

[Deneb610]

I have tired using the loop feature for meteor tracking and for start trails, twice now, and have a minor problem with it. I have BYE Classic 3.0.3. Both times, the looping carried on for a few hours but then stopped for no apparent reason. The latest was last night. I started a loop of 30 second exposures with 800 iso with my Canon 600d. The loop began at 9:30 PM but stopped at 2:47 AM. There was still over 3 gigs left on the drive where I was saving the pics. When I discovered this, at about 5 AM, the camera was still connected and it was running on AC power, not battery. The laptop had no screen saver active nor were there any power settings kicking in. BYE was just sitting there on the Imaging screen, like it thought it was done. Not sure why this is happening. Any ideas?

I've run it for 48 hours once for testing.

 

Send me the log file and I'll tell you why it stopped.

Thank you for the log file.

 

The error "ERROR EDS_ERR_TAKE_PICTURE_CARD_NG" means you don't have an SD card in the camera and your camera is not set to take pictures without one.... or you have a card but it is full.

 

I know you said your card was not full.  However the camera did report the ERROR EDS_ERR_TAKE_PICTURE_CARD_NG.  Perhaps the card is showing its age.  It is hard to tell.  I would try without save to memory card and even perhaps removing the card and set to camera to take images without a card.

Thanks. That's a critical clue. I'll change the card and/or reformat and see what happens. The card in there now, is old.
