Well i can't say it 100% correct, but i took a shower while the picture was made. Then i came back and the cam seemed to be turned off, but then the display "woke" up and another picture was about to shot. So i took out the batteries, because you cannot stop the process, and restarted the cam. After that, there was only 1 picture on my card... So i thought it must be the one with 15min exposure.So here it is:my pictureThat's a nice shot..Judging from the length of the star trails, that looks like a typical 65 second exposure..Also, if you used the script unmodified, the line: set_tv96_direct -576sets the camera to do 65 second exposures.And, as BB said, so far, there is no way to get a longer shot than 65 seconds straight from the camera.I'm a little surprised that there was only 1 shot on your card, if you used the script withoutchanging anything, I would expect about 9-10 shots (65+30)*10 = 15.8 minutesDid you change the 'Interval (minutes)' to 15 or so? Then you would only get 1 shot..It has (at least i think so) 15min exposure and ISO 80. It was absolutely dark, only 2 lights or so.A 65 second exposure can gather quite a bit of light...Now again: Does a long exposure damages my CCD chip?I haven't seen any degradation... but I can't guarantee anything Also, try turning on the noise reduction setting (a single exposure will take twice as long (130 seconds)) but you will see less noise...About stopping the script:Pushing the shutter button again will interrupt a running script.It won't interrupt an exposure mid-way, but it will stop the script once the exposure is finished.Hope that helps-chuck

About stopping the script:Pushing the shutter button again will interrupt a running script.It won't interrupt an exposure mid-way, but it will stop the script once the exposure is finished.
If you set the noise reduction setting to either 0 or 2, you will probably get fewer hot pixels and noise.
Also, try turning on the noise reduction setting (a single exposure will take twice as long (130 seconds)) but you will see less noise...
