Solar Eclipse Maestro controls up to 4 USB or Firewire connected cameras during an eclipse so that you can be free to concentrate on observing the event visually. Actions can be preprogrammed 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. Refraction, lunar limb profile effects, and deltaT correction supported.
Sun/Moon diagram and large event countdown display. Eclipse color coded map with mouse-over geographic cursor coordinates and eclipse duration info to indicate where to move to increase your eclipse duration. A mid eclipse diagram at the mouse-over location can also be displayed.
Live View (Lv) mode support to allow easier focussing and exposure compensation.
Night vision mode to preserve your dark adaptation for totality.
Exposure Calculator to find the best exposure for each eclipse event.
ELRAC This looks like an interesting application, and I would love to use it. However, the next solar eclipse where I am isn't until October 23, 2014. Could you please do something about this? Thanks. (Version 1.6.5)
