This is the version I will be using for my eclipse session.
I've added a config that determines how long before the next iteration we can still download images. It looks like if that timing is too tight, the camera is still busy downloading a file when the camera controller tries to start LiveView and set settings for the next iteration. Since the Nikon SDK is unmanaged code, this can lead the it throwing an unhandled exception that I can't catch outside of the dll and hence it closes down the application. If you do have issues like that, make sure your sequence timings aren't too tight for the computer you are running on.

I also made the startup of the application faster in case it does crash during the eclipse, you should be able to just start it again and it should pick up where in the process the eclipse is at that point.

Anyways, do a couple of full practice runs with this to make sure your timings are ok and wishing all of you Clear Skies!

Added more features and improved stability... still have an issue where the Nikon SDK at random times crashes, but, it's relatively rare, i.e. I have run several full sequences through without this happening, BUT, of course it would suck if it happens right during Totality.

This version has been tested quite a bit. It doesn't have all the features yet that I would like to include, but, it can image a whole solar eclipse session. I've had some rare cases where the software closes without any error message (likely due to an issue somewhere in the SDK wrapper) that I'm still tracking down. Should that happen during the eclipse, just start the software up again and it should continue taking pictures. I will try to find the issue and will release another version should I track it down... but, as I said, it's pretty sporadic and I'm not getting any indication on what might be causing it.
