How do I adjust the brightness in my monochrome SkyRaider?
You will have noticed that the
Brightness
command in the
Color Adjustment
control is deactivated. You can use the
Gamma
command (moving it to the left
will brighten the whole image, but the better control is the
Histogram
command
in the
SideBar
.
By move the
Left Marker Line
or the
Right Marker Line
(or a combination of both)
to the left will brighten up you image in a more controlled manner.
How do I Broadcast my image onto Night Skies Network (NSN)?
As a direct way is not yet available, you will need to use a third-party software to
assist you.
Obtain one of the following:
KVYcam
,
WebCam Max
,
SplitCam
(different
opinions on which is the best, it becomes a personal preference). Each of these
software programs will allow you to capture what is happening on your
computer screen. The software packages also act as a webcam to NSN.
Therefore, whatever screen image these software packages are capturing, will
display on NSN as a webcam image.
See
Setting up to Broadcast on Night Skies Network
in the
Appendix
for more
detailed instructions.
Can I Use MallincamSky with One SkyRaider and Auto-Guide with another?
Yes, as long as you use
DirectShow
,
WDM
or
ASCOM
with the second
SkyRaider
.
Remember if you are using
DirectShow
or
WDM
, the guiding software CANNOT
control the exposure setting on the camera; look for a
Settings
or
Property Tab
button that pops up the
SkyRaider
exposure control window.
