Default TouCam video capture for Lunar Eclipse - need your tips

Full lunar eclipse in next two days. I'm using ToUcam Pro and wish to
capture the lunar eclipse in series of short video files, e.g.

to capture continuous 20 frames@5fps,
stop capturing for 5 minutes,
then to capture next continuous 20 frames,
going on like this for 4 hours.

This will ensure that my disk space will not be full before the end of
the event.

My questions a

Is there any capturing software/freeware having this interval setting
features?
Any other suggestion/tips for capturing Lunar Eclipse are welcome
because this is my first time.

My equipment would be Telephoto fl 135mm attaching to Toucam pro
piggying back on my C8 driven by EQ6 mount.



Thank you

Hi:

Give Astrosnap a try...I think it's well suited for what you want to do.
