Overexposure with TC-N803

[sA x sKy]

Hey everyone, I'm having a problem with taking long exposures with the remote. I was trying to get a 1 exposure shot of a clock at ISO 100 at f/8 but it keeps getting over exposed. Even if I do 5 seconds it gets overexposed. I've never had this problem when doing star trails or light trails. Anyone know whats wrong? It'd be appreciated, thanks.

You what? A clock is typically much much brighter than a star trail. Even if it may not look it to you.

What are you trying to photograph? Why the long exposure?

It's nothing to do with the remote, it's user error make the aperture smaller
