DUSB Cable Nikon D5300 Hep Needed

[aydinmustafa]

Dear Friends,

I used and loved backyard Nikon with my Nikon D5300 with a standart usb cable. I am sincerely sorry if this is asked and answered. I have been trying to find an answer but I simply cannot.

Here is my question as I saw in some forums some models donot need a serial usb cable for backyard nikon. Do I need one to use backyard nikon with my camera or is my standart usb cable just ok to use?

I want to buy this software but not sure if it will work without serial cable or not

 

Regards to all

First, BYN will work with only a USB cable for all models. The limitation is that it some older models require a second serial cable to control the shutter for BULB exposures.

Second, O'Telescope offers a free 30-day Trial license to allow you to test the application with your camera. Most of the functionality can be tested during the day with a lens on the camera, so there is no need to waste a dark sky while learning how to use BYN.

Go to the O'Telescope Store. Select the BackyardNikon product page. Scroll down a bit and select the Supported Cameras tab. This will display the list of cameras that are supported by BYN, along with any limitations or additional requirements. Here you will see that you can do BULB exposures with only the standard USB cable with the D5300..

You need a USB cable for ALL models, including the D5300.

For the D5300 the USB cable is all you need.  You do not need a serial cable for this model.

Hope this helps,

thank you very much. I was also wondering if I used a longer cable or usb enlargement cable or usb hub how it would work.

Nikon says the the USB cable must be plugged into a computer port directly, not a hub.  However, you need longer you should use an active repeater USB extension cable.
