DESCRIPTION
Solar Eclipse Maestro... Controls up to 4 USB or Firewire connected cameras during an eclipse so that you can be free to concentrate on observing the event visually. Actions can be preprogrammed according to a script. Observer position (latitude and longitude coordinates, altitude) is used to calculate local circumstances so that camera actions can be referenced to specific eclipse events. Refraction, lunar limb profile effects, and deltaT correction supported.

Sun/Moon diagram and large event countdown display. Eclipse color coded map with mouse-over geographic cursor coordinates and eclipse duration info to indicate where to move to increase your eclipse duration. A mid eclipse diagram at the mouse-over location can also be displayed.

  • Live View (Lv) mode support to allow easier focussing.
  • Night vision mode to preserve your dark adaptation for totality.
  • Exposure Calculator to find the best exposure for each eclipse event.
  • Support for all Nikon and Canon DSLRs.
  • Sky chart.
  • PDF exports.

    ZOZOMIKE  With this release I can now connect my D300s and use the live view on the computer screen to help focusing.

    The PDF export is great to show the eclipse map to friends.
