Heads up Canon fans...

If you have a PalmOS PDA, here is a way of controlling your camera in a similar way to the expensive Canon timer remote TC-80N3.

Freeware too which is nice. The catch? you have to build a cable from the PDA to the camera.

It should be possible to have the infra red port of the palm operate the canon also (guess who got a 350D yesterday :-) ).

I'll try and play with that over the next few days.

Welcome to the Canon club Albert!

I forgot about the IR port - let us know how that works out. I have a 20D so cable is the only option for me. Actually I ordered the Canon timer remote last week before reading about the Palm thing, which I would defiantly have tried if I had seen it earlier.

Did you get the adapter to fit the scope also?
I'd imagine you'll get nice wide field of views with the Sc Newt.
