The sky was very clear so I went out to experiment with a new version of the time lapse board. This one works with a new camera we have. The camera is a Pentax digital SLR. This type of camera allows you to shoot long exposures, such as for night pictures. It also has a port built in that allows me to connect the controller board with no modifications to the camera.
I programmed the board to run from 11:30 PM to 4:00 AM. and mounted the camera to a tripod. The exposure time was 30 seconds and a picture was taken every 2 minutes.
