Planetary (high-speed) Imaging
The Titan can take up to 5 frames per second and store them in
uncompressed -bit format on a standard hard disk drive.
In order to operate in high-speed mode, the following steps must
be taken:
● check the Pre checkbox in the Exposure dialog – this
enables the fast download mode;
● set the exposure time in the Exposure dialog – note that
high frame rates require short exposure times;
● check the Autosave Images checkbox in the Exposure
dialog;
● enter a suitable folder and file name prefix in the text box
below the Autosave Images checkbox (or use the browse
button alongside it);
● select a suitable suffix scheme from the Seq fmt. drop -
down list;
● enter your desired starting sequence number in the Seq
No. text box;
● start imaging by selecting the Camera | Loop menu op -
tion or else by clicking on the Loop toolbar item;
● stop imaging by deselecting the Camera | Loop menu op -
tion or by clicking on the Loop toolbar item again.
Please ensure that your hard disk has enough space for your
proposed observing run – in high-speed mode the Titan eats up
disk space very quickly! Performance will be improved by mini-
mizing the number of other processes running on the system. If
the frame rate is reduced by hard disk performance limitations,
