I will try, but please note, this has been a busy week and my brain is pretty fried at the moment!
I use EvoCam to pole my camera. I let EvoCam generate a time lapse move that is 24 hours long and based on a single frame every 5 seconds. My time requirement varies with the weather. During severe weather, it's 4 seconds, but during dead weather periods of no clouds and such, it's 30 seconds. A 4 second time lapse movie will take up about 16 gig per day in file space, but during heavy weather the results are quite impressive. My cameras have always been very low lux, usually about .00001 lux at present, this is enough to record the night sky clouds, some stars, and the occasional meteor shower and ISS flyby
.
EvoCam will let you record the movie, and it will also take each frame and save it as a .jpg file, the movie can be saved in one place and the .jpg can be saved in another. The name for the .jpg can be set to the same name all the time and placed in the WC update folder for uploading to your website and WU at well. Just tell WC where and what it is. Just go to WC preferences, choose webcam and enable it. Choose Local File and tell it where it is and what it's named. Under the movies, I tell WC to make it's own movies for the website and not to save them, I also don't save the individual images either. Even with 10TB of space, I have my limits
Hope that Helps!
