WideFields and Star Trails my latest astrophoto site update

1000F cameras do not offer the lock function nor have they a facility to attach a cable release.

A great camera but not for this kind of work.

Nothing more confusing than the human mind.
Of course the 1000F offers a cable release option.
It is not located in the release button but at the RH side of the camera.

Original cable releases have a connector that fits the 1000F camera.

Later cable releases can be used wizh a small adapter.
Please note these adapters are not easy to find unless you are a member of the FUC.

Blowupster and Terry, thanks for correcting me!

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but taking photographs of stars generally happens at night doesn't it? Wouldn't it be simpler to open the shutter with a cap on the lens, then take the cap off for the desired 'exposure'...?

Of course, this pre-supposes that there is a 'T' function somewhere...

On right side there a possibility.

The cable release hole on the side of the 1000f does not accept a standard cable release. You need a difficult to find adapter (I was given one!)
