operate the Canon Rebel XT remotely via USB

I've got a Canon Rebel XT.
Is there a way to operate the camera remotely via the USB 2.0 port?

I am thinking that Canon has got to have something like that to test and troubleshoot cameras.
Do you know of anything?

It would be great to use it for Astronomy...

Hi Jerry. Try taking a look at the RemoteCapture software that came with your Canon EOS Rebel XT. Let us know if it suits your need.

Hello Chieh,

Thanks, I tried it. It worked. Did not know I had it. I can take pictures remotely and adjust features according to the setting of the Mode Dial. On the other hand, I was surprised to find that the Mode was not bypassed by the software. I would have thought that the mode switch could be completely bypassed such that the camera could be configured without the need to manually rotate it. I am thinking that there must be some internal software that Canon uses for testing and troubleshooting that is able to bypass the Mode Dial altogether. Do you know of any? Is there a "Super User" mode for the Remote Capture Software for Canon internal use only?

Are there any other Camera Controller software out there? What is the operating system of the Canon? Java?

Thanks a lot for your help
Merry Christmas
