    Here are some tools and techniques that I use for creating Time Lapse videos.

     

    Gathering Images

        CHDK http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK

           I have 2 CHDK capable Canon PowerShot Cameras, a S3 IS, and an A560. I typically use CHDK uBasic intervalometer scripts that will just click the shutter for ever at some given interval.  For the astronomy images, I add a command that adjusts the shutter speed to 65 seconds for each shot.

          

        Linux + a Camera

        I have a few linux boxes, my current favorite flavor is Ubuntu (7.10)

           Digital Camera control using gphoto2 http://gphoto.org

              Gphoto/libgphoto is a great linux tool which allows communication and control of a pretty good variety of digital cameras.

              Here's information about cameras that gphoto2 can control to do remote image capturing http://www.gphoto.org/doc/remote/
