Black Level
Black Level is defined as the level of brightness of the darkest (blackest) part of
the image. In technical terms, the black level is the pixel level (in electrons, or
volts) which corresponds to a pixel value of zero. The Black level adjustment on
the MallincamSky allows you to adjust that value using the slider.
The slider provides you a range of suttle darkness adjustments from a starting
point of
0
to an end point of
31
. In using this control, you can tweak your image
to sl
ightly “brighten” (towards level 31) or “dim” (towards level 0) the starting
point for the image’s backest location.
Using this slider allows you to define what you believe (based on your current
image) should be the optimum black. This control is most useful when you are
experiencing a glow due to a bright object near the object you are imaging,
and you want to tweak the darkness.
You can use the
Black Level
to shift the peak of your histogram towards the right,
this way it moves the left most starting point away from the left side and thus you
can avoid clipping the blacks from the image.
Since MallincamSky gives you the ability choose the
Black Level
for the camera,
you can use this feature to assist in reducing the
amp glow
present in your
image, You can also use the Black Level to create a well-balanced dark
background against the stars in your image.
Just have fun and experiment, as every telescope and seeing conditions provide
for a different environment for the SkyRaider.
