Hi Nico; I'm a new supporter so I'm just catching up with the older Zooms and just watched this. One thing that some people might find useful for their Timelapses, especially if there are externalities outside our control (like you're shooting near a road with occasional cars coming into frame, or if you're shooting a dawn/dusk timelapse with changing exposures) is a program called LRTimelapse. It's not free (nor is it cheap), but it is amazingly powerful, and I've become a quick convert after just a few uses.

I've made an example of this with a fisheye lens here: https://vimeo.com/209765419 I do seem to remember one of the tracking mounts (maybe the star adventurer mini?) offered an 'astro timelapse' feature where it would re-wind just the right amount after each shot so that you could get a more traditional time-lapse, but with the added benefit of longer, tracked exposures.

Cheers
