If you set the shooting interval too short, the backlight never gets a chance to turn off as the camera turns it back on after every shot. However, since I last updated the script, there is now a new script command available that actually turns off the whole display. Sometime in the next couple of days I'll update the script to use that instead.
Today I waited a little bit longer a tadaa after some 10 shots the backlight turned off.
Does the Shot Rate (sec) counter begin after the completion of last shot or is it calculated differently? Exposures get longer as light diminishes. Don't want to goof the Shot rate up.

If the shot loop completes faster than the specified shot interval then the timer will halt the script until the specified shot interval has elapsed. However, if the exposure time eventually becomes longer than the specified shot interval, the shot loop simply continues as fast as it can ( i.e. the time for each loop iteration is essentially the exposure time.)
I tend to be having a strange result form this script. Just checked my sundown TL and I notice a pop up in brightness from one picture to the next mid way through the sequence.
It throws off the smoothness of the whole TL sequence. As the sky is getting darker one image is at max exposure time of 13" at ISO 400 then the next image jumps to ISO 1000 or so and works its way down to a darker image. The data from the images is not precise since they are jpegs. Could the exposure ramp rate be at fault here? I have the camera currently shooting over night so I will have to get the settings tomorrow. From memory the shot rate is 10". ISO default 100. ISO upper limit 1250. Ramp rate medium or high.
Dang it, I have to check but I might have disabled it. I will do another TL tomorrow night and make sure the log is enabled. Is that enable within the script or CHDK?
