Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum, this software, the Canon IXUS 100 IS camera, and astro-photography in general, but anyway...
I am going to buy an IXUS 100 IS to photograph the night sky, and am looking to install CHDK from this page:
http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/SD780ISMy questions are:
- What do I do to install it? I have downloaded it from the link on the above page - I take it that I just copy it to my memory card. Is there a special location in which the BIN file should go? Do I need to install anything else?
- Will keeping the shutter open for 60 seconds on this camera model cause any adverse effects which are likely to damage the camera (will the CCD encounter problems, or overheat?). The factory setting is 15 seconds - is there a good reason for this, or is it just because that is optimal for noise avoidance, etc...
Thanks!
