FOG REDUCTION
The Fog Reduction setting has 4 levels
(OFF, LOW, MID, HIGH).
It provides the ability to reduce the I/R
component (capture) of the image.
When activated it automatically sets
ECLIPSE to OFF and sets GAMMA to
0.45 (at least that’s what the manual says,
but I don’t see it happening on the
camera. I do turn Gamma to 0.45 is my
software).
For Astronomy use: Experiment
ECLIPSE
Eclipse acts like a coronagraph which tries
to block out bright components on the
image.
When activated FOG REDUCTION is
automatically set to OFF and GAMMA is
set to 0.45 (at least that’s what the manual
says, but I don’t see it happening. I do turn
Gamma to 0.45 in my software)
For Astronomy use: Optional
ENHANCE
Acts like APC (Advanced Pixel Control) on
other cameras. It controls the amount of
internal digital signal processing. If the
values are too high then the stars look too
blocky or may have Halos around them.
ENHANCE lets you manipulate sharpness
and the rendering of fine detail. The effect
is much like unsharp masking.
You can control either the horizontal or the
vertical component of the pixel. The higher
the level the more “blocky” the pixel looks.
