Here's a couple of good links that will help you with dark frames :

http://www.mediachance.com/digicam/blackframe.htm

http://www.startrails.de/html/software.html
well I removed them in picasa and then just ran them in secession  1/16 second apart I think
I just knew .."cant be this easy " :blink:

just let it run in p mode
I did step down the exposure a bit ..
30 was a tad long
Zooming in on photoView you can see a bit of IDK what ya call it egg shaped stars but Im not going for close up views anyway.
Setting is facing East
> newbie's Canon S90 CHDK Meteorite LUA Script ..<
No editing..... Usually something I try to avoid .

Looking at the amp glow pink spot in the upper left hand corner of your time lapse,  I would suggest you want to work on dark frame managment if you hav time.

Dark Frame Management...= Stacking each photo w A Darkframe ? all of them ? oh geeze that will take forever
After shooting I Uploaded them to comp went to picase and ran them @ 1/6 second speed for the tl effect
I dont think Picasa has DFM but I do know Picture's that look good on the camera get " REFINED" in picasa and that refinement make's the picture's lighter..

I did DL a DFM file And it seems you manually put it in this seems very timely but I imagine the only way to keep it dark and not have it auto lighten everything...

....Been published in a few books and Mags..
Not seeking that out ..I just love trying to capture the moment to share ..
and I want to get better ..
Kind of hard when your noggin got scrambled ...but hey I'm no quitter ..and since My active life got suddenly shut down I have the time to learn.. it's just frustrating over the internet ...following direction..Im more the visual learner

Thanks !

ok after much reading and trial and error I think I understand Dark frame management
I Dl the Dark frame management ex file and got it on my comp to test it I just uploaded a picture from a file I had
...seems pretty simple .... :D
UNTIL :o
I tried to get the picture's that are listed as CR2 ..huh? my windows can preview it just fine but it wont load to Dark frame management ..
I know there must be a step I'm missing but I'm getting closer..
Thanks
Last night it was cloudy so no shots plus I'm a tad frustrated so gave it a day to rest.

Thanks again..

I imagine I'll have to go out and buy a program to do this to all picture's at one time instead of individually with the one given as free DL ..
am I correct ?

Thank you, Thank you, thank you!  I'm a newbie here and was having problems with this script, grabbed the new one and will be trying to get some shots tonight!  Going camping this weekend to take some startrail/meteor shots and have been looking for a great script!  Now I've been using star trails for my dark frame management, Its free :-)  It also has a movie mode for time lapse, and its fantastic and easy to use :-)
