AGC
Auto Gain Control tells the camera how
much amplifier gain you would like it to
apply to the signal coming out of the CCD.
It’s similar to cranking up the ISO setting
on your digital camera. The trick is to get
the best image with smallest value.
For Astronomy use: set to FIX and adjust
SLOW SHUTTER
Slow Shutter allows you to set exposures
to: 1/15s, 1/8s, 1/4s, 1/2s, 1s, 2s, 4s, and
8s. This setting is used for those dim
planets.
This Slow Shutter affects the timing of
everything in the camera. If set to say 2s,
then it will take 2s for the Menu Buttons to
respond and display. Use caution when
using due to response delay.
For Astronomy use: Optional
DNR
Digital Noise Reduction this setting has 4
levels (OFF, LOW, MED, HIGH) which
may assist is removing noise from image
or actual image details. Experiment with
this setting.
For Astronomy use: Experiment
DAY/NIGHT
This setting adjusts the Signature to
expect to be imaging either bright objects
(DAY) or dim objects (NIGHT). Since most
Solar Systems objects are bright, set to
DAY and leave it there.
For Astronomy use: DAY
