Problem: The filename timestamp lags the shutter open time by about half a second
At some point, this time stamp was changed to reflect the shutter open time rather than the file write time. In the latest versions of both BackyardEOS and BackyardNikon, the time stamp can be anything from 0.3 seconds to 2.0 seconds out, depending on the speed of the PC.
We would be very grateful if this could be corrected. We need accurate timing for the project we are currently involved in - monitoring space junk (old satellites, rocket bodies etc)
Thanks, John
