I built mine from this page www.solorb.com/elect/lightn...

There are some good commercial units out there but they are expensive. This is probably the most popular lightningtrigger.com

OLD gear, Canon 1100D, main lenses are a Canon 17-40mm F4L and canon 10-22mm f3.5 lens. Would love to upgrade one day, but I keep finding other things to buy. I built a lighting trigger many years ago, its still going strong today.

Yes, I built the observatory, originally in Adelaide, SA, but moved it out to a darker location. Where it is located is quite far from any coast, so the air is a little better and we get less cloud. Only down side is we get river fog where we are. So some nights I cannot image.

This was just bulb mode on the DSLR, taking consecutive shots.
