Eric...
This is good.
I like DIY projects to get the most out of gear for minimum cost.
Proper tools make projects a lot easier and the satisfaction of crafting it.
Very coolest man.
On your camera...
I have used a Canon Powershot S3 for many years and utilized a hack to increase the maximum exposure from 15 seconds to minutes...with great results. The CHDSK hack also enables a whole bunch of other cool stuff...and it's safe.

I use the Canon T5i now for my astrophotography now, but that powershot, now regulated as backup, does a great job.
