These are really useful.
Wired remote control with timer.

The wired remote control provides all sorts of additional control e.g set up a series of shots over a period of time, take a set of long exposures over a period (25 shots of 12 seconds exposure each spaced one every 5 minutes).


JK, do you know how Nikon cameras cope with 'bulb' exposures of greater than one hour?

My understanding is that digital cameras in general, limit 'bulb' exposure to 60 minutes, yet that remote you quote offers 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds...

My lack of understanding of this is one reason I haven't yet attempted to make an 8 hour star trail image.
