Could it does time exposure shot, like shooting stars?

Yes. It's excellent for doing long exposures like shooting stars and star trails, and for interval shots like time lapse:

Yes, it can do exposures as long as 99 hours! (If only the camera battery would last that long!)

Yes and no. I find it just changes the start time and end time of the camera. But I have never had a n issue where the camera hasn't taken photos through out a day no matter the clouds in the sky. Latest start time was 7:45am when sun rise was 6:30am.

No, to do time lapse photography you will need to purchase a remote timer which is sold separately as canon or third party brand model.

I'd have to say yes it does, but I can't be certain. The videos I have shot I have not been still while shooting, and I have not seen any of them go out of focus, but they are short duration and short distance. So, it's possible that it might not. Ken

The Nikon MC-36A has a timer function which will do the job. Suggest you contact Nikon technical sales support for confirmation; a detailed explanation of all the features and capabilities of this unit; and, guidance on how to set it up for long exposures.

YES it does though it says the timer button .. you really have to hit the exposure button on the right side of the dial.I just made a video using the process today. I havent been able to take a shot while shooting video though...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY69KSvKoEk&list;=UUEjpSE4pOhftupgVjQw1UGA

My experience is it depends on how you set the camera up in the menu. You cam do a timed exposure or multiple exposures just like you can If you push the sitter button but you have to set it up first. I've taken 9 exposure HDR shots. You can't set any of this up with this device - has to be done in the camera first.

Sure, it depends only by the values you define in your camera. It works just as pushing the main button. If you programmed a long exposure, it will happen.

I don't think so. But the stars move around- very 3D. There is not a star that "shots" across the ceiling they just move around.

I believe it can. When I first got it, before I could get the guns out to the range, I shot some stuff over it with a rubber band and it recorded a speed. You need to shoot into a small wedge formed by the uprights and the sky screen, so accuracy is important.

Yes, however you may want to consider purchasing a longer life battery if you want to film something that lasts longer than an hour or two.

No. You can take long exposures with it, but you're better off spending the cash on a DSLR body like a Canon T3i and a program like BackyardEOS if you want to image deep sky objects.

It depends on what you are tracking. It's more than OK for visual observation of planetary and deep space objects (with PAE, a more delicate alignment of the object you're tracking). For astrophotography, I wouldn't run exposures of more than, say, 20 seconds with a properly balanced telescope or telephoto lens. You MUST take your time when aligning the mount, make sure the tripod is level; enter the time, date and coordinates with as much accuracy as possible; and make sure that during the alignment procedure you center the stars nicely in your field of view. It takes me about 5-10 minutes, but after that the mount will track very well. On the other hand, if you are using the mount from a fixed location; you can save that as a 'home' position and you are good to go.

Not that I am aware of but if you want to do serious timelapse photography check this out, &lt;http://www.bmumford.com/photo/camctlr.html&gt;

Yep, sure can. I shoot it pretty wide open much of the time, and it delivers a nice bokeh effect.

No, it does not. You can make it work though, focus, shoot and carefully move to the next shot, then the next. Our graphic artists in house have a program to piece it into a panoramic photo.

Yes, I tried it and it will hold the exposure as long as you want. Set the camera to bulb mode remember to cover the viewfinder when doing this. Check your owners manual (pg 100) for bulb exposures for more detail.
