Once you have connected your camera to the computer and opened the Envisage program, you’ll want to start
taking pictures. Follow the steps below to start taking simple pictures with your Deep Sky Imager camera. We
recommend that the first time you take pictures, you do so during daylight hours. Point your telescope at a
stationary landmark, such as a building, telephone pole or so forth—trees and other objects that move slightly
are not the best objects to use during your first
image tests.
