WEST BEND electronic timers are small, inexpensive, and easy to find in the kitchenware sections of larger markets. They are invaluable for making long exposures at night and in dark canyons. You can set them for any time up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds. The large LED readout does not glow in the dark, but this timer beeps when the preset time has elapsed. There is a spring-loaded clip on the back that will hold it to your belt.
