Oculus PRO Colour Handbook Issue 1
If this is an initial setting up session, set the ‘Autosave’ to off and select ‘Continuous’ mode. The
exposure time for a dark sky can be 20 seconds, or more, but for initial alignment and testing, set 5
seconds and press ‘Take Photo(s)’. You should see a sequence of images on the display and you can
experiment with the Oculus PRO Colour orientation and location to get the best views. The focus
should be good, as supplied, but if necessary it may be adjusted by unscrewing the large outer ring
and lifting off the dome. Loosen the small lock screw on the lens and gently rotate the top lens ring
to refine the focus.
Re-lock the lens when satisfactory and replace the dome.
You can greatly improve the image brightness and contrast by setting up the ‘Max palette stretch’
option in the ‘View’ menu. I recommend using the ‘Linear’ stretch and adjusting the black and white
levels for the best view.
