I used BEOS 3.2.2 RC1 (Windows 10) on a Canon T4i to take a few hundred frames of 6 seconds. (I have an alt-az mount and the object is near South so that I couldn't take long subs). Later, I found that the exposure time/shutter speed didn't remain constant. Some frames are 6.4" while others are 6.1", 6" and so forth. The camera was set to M (manual) and B (bulb). With a release cable with an intervalometer, I never had this kind of shutter speed fluctuation.
Is there anything I can do to keep the frame length constant?
BTW, I gave a 2-second pause between frames and chose to save images on the camera only instead of downloading them to the computer. It just occurred to me that I used a 3-second pause instead of 2-second pause between frames when I used my intervalometer + remote shutter release code. I'm speculating that a 3 seconds long pause could have helped, but I'm not sure and still seeking to get others' take on this issue.
Thank you,
