![]() Commercial distribution is strictly forbidden. It can handle any solar eclipse, provide you Baily’s beads preview and animation, simulate an all-sky view or weather statistics, and a lot more. To help you enjoy the event, you can use it to control up to four USB or Firewire connected cameras ( Nikon and Canon DSLRs or MILCs, plus Nikon Coolpix line and now a few Panasonic, Sony, Fuji and Olympus) during an eclipse so that you can be free to concentrate on observing the event visually. Up to four USB or Ethernet connected SBIG CCD cameras with filter wheels are supported as well. You must then preprogram all exposure information according to a script. Observer position (latitude and longitude coordinates, altitude) is used to calculate local circumstances so that camera actions can be referenced to specific eclipse events. All features are optional, so the application can be used for as little or as much as desired.įirst developed for the 2008 total solar eclipse, it has been successfully tested in the chinese Gobi desert. ![]() For the total and annular eclipses of 20, and all the next ones as well, many users have reported it worked flawlessly for them. Others are even using it for other purposes such as shooting auroras time-lapses, triangulating sounding rockets, etc. There are two versions of the software: the first one is a Universal Binary, meaning it runs on both Mac Intel and PPC, that runs under MacOS X 10.4.x (a.k.a.Mercury Venus Transit Maestro is a similar application meant for solar transits. Tiger) to MacOS X 10.14.x (Mojave) and the second Intel only runs under 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) to MacOS X 10.14.x (Mojave). The first does support Canon’s legacy cameras (EOS 350D/Rebel XT/Kiss N, 20D/20Da and 5D), but not the models released after the 60D this remains true until Yosemite, with El Capitan or newer this version can not control DSLRs or MILCs anymore. ![]() The Intel version doesn’t support Canon’s legacy cameras, but supports all the latest models. A screen with a minimum 1024x768 resolution is recommended, although it will work with smaller screens. Mac users can also check out Glenn Schneider’s MacOS X UMBRAPHILEX or Classic UMBRAPHILE. In the early 90’s, Glenn pioneered this type of eclipse photography application.
