Perhaps you should actually read my posts - I did get a new battery and I use the camera to take photos of satellites, not deep space objects. I have used the camera for months and it works great.

Niels - The D200 and D300 are very limited for astrophotography IF you want to take photos of deep space objects; they have limited megapixels. I use my D200 for taking photos of satellites and ...

Looking at several of them, they appear to be the same for my camera. Are they different for yours?

Anyone know how a Nikon D200 records time? It has EXIF tags, two are Date/Time Original and Sub Sec Time. Apparently the time is recorded but split between those two? So the fractional second is ...

Oh, I read the EXIF data all the time. Image number is 7811 but I had not really looked at that before.

The D200 is still a solid camera, I use mine all the time to take photos of satellites at night. I will have to look around and figure how to get the shutter count.

Let me "oops" my reply! After trying the test several times I realized that I had not read this above note - I had wondered why the app looked different. This is sadly not the first time I have ...

That has been very illuminating (photography humor). A "5" second exposure is 2.5 seconds long! A "10" second exposure is about 5.1 seconds long!! So I can just cut the displayed exposure time in ...

That is a great idea, let me try it (tomorrow). I'll report back.

Yes you would think that since the camera can take exposures at 1/1000 of a second it could measure exposure time that accurately. I get photos of satellites and generate (through a long and ...

All - After solving several other difficult questions, now another one comes up. I have a Nikon D200 and use it to take photos of satellites, using mostly 10 second exposures. But it appears that ...

The first is a satellite but the second does NOT have the red and green lights typical of an aircraft in flight. Maybe it is a far away contrail.

I have been tracking satellites since Oct 2019 with my Nikon D200 and it is great. After starting with lots of questions about that process I have been slowly answering each one - the next in the ...

Another problem solved, the open command in the bash script works great. So the script submits 4 or so photos to a site that "resolves" them and then JEXIFToolGui starts so I can get the exposure ...

Wow! Two excellent and helpful replies! I would prefer to open the GUI version since I feel more comfortable seeing the image, to double check my workflow. I only need the time of shutter (in this ...

Ok this is a niche question. I take photos of satellites (yes at night) and submit them to an astrometry site to "resolve" them. This allows me to use the photos to generate observations so a group ...

I got pyexiftoolgui and put it into Applications - it cannot find EXIFTool. Grrrr. I use a Python script to put photos into an astrometry site so I know that I have a good Python installation. I ...
