Is there no way to do timelapse with Bulb? For Astrophotos of Galaxies I would need to do N Images of settable duration for Bulb mode (as Nikon setting possibility ends at 30 s) like 2 Minutes with settable waiting interval between successive shots for screen control. It should be like with the ayex AX-5 wireless control.
It would need to implement an algorithm setting the shutter on off according the settings of N and Interval.

Hi rkueng,
our Long Exposure feature already works in combination with Timelapse!
(Timelapse is really just an Intervalometer, we just named it Timelapse as that's what 95% of our customers plan to use it for)
As you change duration (the total shooting time), you'll see the number of photos being calculated - just change duration until you get the number of photos you need (±1)

The only downside right now is that our Long Exposure values are still being displayed as 4.3m instead of 4:16m (we'll change this in the next update) and you need to make sure to add 1-2s on top of that for the interval (ie interval would have to be 4m 18s or longer) If you want to see the image between shots, make sure you add more time (eg interval set to 4:28 if you want 10s viewing time.

but it should work already!

This is great answer. Thank you. It looks like I did not play around long enough :-)
