Thank you! Yeah, I just use a tripod and a remote timer like this. If you use a normal remote or 10 second timer, it seems to be a lot harder, because youll have to move back and forth between the camera and scene a bunch. With the timer, you can program it, and get a burst of shots at once. I normally set it to something like 10 second delay, with 15 photos at 3 second intervals. So you can slowly move around during the photo, and get a ton of alternatives. If theres fast movement, you can set it to continuous timer with intervals in between too. (I probably explained that poorly, sorry! haha)
The pro Canons use a different connector from the axial plug of the low-end models.

Thanks! And no, i used this $16 intervalometer
Thank you! I'd say go with the GoPro HERO 4 Silver or Black, if you need something light-weight that will hold up in weather. The image you can get with the newer models is way better than what mine can do.
Between those two, the Silver has a LCD built-in, but both offer Wi-Fi/Bluetooth so you can use the GoPro app on your smartphone as display, without disturbing the camera or possibly wasting more battery. Fun tip about power, regular Apple iPhone chargers (and probably others) meet the power requirement (5V - 1A) to charge and power a GoPro. So you can keep it plugged in with a USB to Mini-USB cable while you shoot. If you want to use a tripod or mount while plugged in, however, you'll have to pick up a housing that has open sides for this, since the standard housing is closed. Or use a bit of gaffers tape. Otherwise, the biggest difference between the Silver and Black, beside price, is Video -- you get more frame rate options with the 2.7K and 4K resolutions on the Black.
If you have a clean, controlled environment, and don't mind a bit more cost and technical set up, you can use a DSLR. The 7D MKII has a built-in intervalometer so, without any attachments, you can shoot time lapse out of the box. If you've already got a DSLR, there are a few 3rd-party intervalometer remotes on Amazon, with mixed reviews. I want to experiment with these next, so I can't vouch for any. But if your company is paying, they might not mind paying the higher price for the name brand version you require. Here are a few videos I saved while researching.

All said and done, experiment a bunch and use plenty of light! Hope that helps!
It was like $22. Here's a link

How are you planning to use the computer? BackyardEOS?
> is the rest of my set up okay?
BackyardEOS would replace the need for a shutter release/ intervalometer. If not using it (or another tethered solution), I would suggest getting an intervalometer. Much more convenient then using the timer on camera, and you don't want to actually be pressing the shutter button on-camera to avoid shake.
You don't mention a tripod, but a tripod is pretty much necessary for any kind of astrophotography.
As for advice, I would suggest shooting the milky way core with interesting foreground elements (rock formations, etc.). Shoot as wide (28mm) and open (lowest f number = widest aperture) as your lens allows. Try the following settings in manual mode: ISO 1600, 10 seconds exposure.
Manually focus on a bright star with liveview magnified x10. The goal is to make the star as small as possible. If you have never focused at night before, practice before your trip, and get a sense of where on the lens is truly "infinity".
Maybe too advanced for starting out, but worth learning: Take many shots of the same thing and try stacking them in DeepSkyStacker when you get home.
