Night time-lapse

This was my third ever try to make one, and my most recent try to make a time-lapse video. Yup...

I use a Canon Rebel EOS for the pictures and a TI-84 Plus to make the camera take the pictures. If you have a TI-83 or TI-84 (or either Plus edition) here is a simple program that will make your camera take pictures for you.

-On your calculator, hit PRGM.
-Go over to NEW
-Name the program something you will remember; I stuck with "CAMERA"
-Now type in this program EXACTLY as I have it:

:Prompt A
:While 1
:For(H,1,A,1)
:End
:Send(A)
:End

The commands Prompt, While, For, End, and Send can all be found by hitting the PRGM key again, then search the first two lists for the commands.
-When you start the program up, it will display "A=?" All you do here is type in the amount of time you want between pictures.
THIS AMOUNT OF TIME IS NOT IN SECONDS. IT IS IN "CALCULATOR CYCLES."
-For this video, I used the value 2500, which was almost exactly equal to 3 seconds between pictures. I took 472 pictures and encoded the video at 16 frames per second.

This is all the detail I will provide.
