I ordered one of those (along with a few other "essential" items) yesterday. I am now wondering if I can put together a timer to allow multiple night pinhole shots w/o the bother of getting up at 5 to close it off... thanks again for the tip! andy

Subject: [pinhole-discussion] more on the variable pinhole Yesterday I mentioned the iris/motor assembly from All Electronics. I looked at it more closely last night. The motor comes off easily by removing two small screws. That leaves the iris assembly by itself. Besides the gear sector that drives the iris, there is also a small lever. You could glue an extension to the lever to easily control the iris. Without the motor, the iris moves easily and closes completely. I could not see any light coming through the assembly when it is completely closed, so it might make a nice shutter for a pinhole camera. I'll try and get some pictures of it.
