AI Thread Summary
A user inquired about a DSLR capable of programming frame rates for extended sequential shots. They received advice suggesting the use of a programmable corded timer remote for Canon DSLRs, which can schedule shots over long periods. The Canon TC80N3 Timer Remote Control was recommended as a viable solution, allowing for up to 100 hours of shooting. The user expressed interest in purchasing this device and confirmed that managing memory card changes would not be an issue. This discussion highlights practical solutions for long-duration photography using DSLRs.

Dear Russ_Watters, dear Chemistree,

Thank you so much for your advice, in this system it would be okay to swap the cards, so the DSLR would be the best solution. I just don't know is there any DSLR that can meet the requirements of programming the frame rate (I mean to tell the device that it should take pictures for a few hours at a given fps)
I was given an advice from a friend to search for somebody who is an expert in programming micro-controllers. With a micro-controller it may be possible to "hack" the DSLR camera...but I am not sure, I've never done things like this.

Many greetings,

Telmerk

If you get a Canon DSLR, you can equip it with a programmable corded timer remote (about $130 US) that let's you schedule sequential shots over a period of 100 hours (over 4 days).
 
Dear turbo-1!
This seems to be the solution! Is it possible to directly buy this thing? Would you please specify me the device?
If I can make this, the only task would be to change the memory cards time to time. And this is not a problem.

Thank you!

Many greetings,

T the M. :smile:

Thread 'Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 1% risk of a multi-megaton impact in 2032 (now ruled out)'

Asteroid, Data - 1.2% risk of an impact on December 22, 2032. The estimated diameter is 55 m and an impact would likely release an energy of 8 megatons of TNT equivalent, although these numbers have a large uncertainty - it could also be 1 or 100 megatons. Currently the object has level 3 on the Torino scale, the second-highest ever (after Apophis) and only the third object to exceed level 1. Most likely it will miss, and if it hits then most likely it'll hit an ocean and be harmless, but...
