As the
Dark Fields are being exposed, you can watch the exposure counter in
the Dark Field Correction Tab go up, and on the bottom of the MallincamSky
window, you will see a counter letting you know the exposure progress.
Once the
Dark Fields have been taken, you have the option of saving them (so
you can use then again on another night) with the Export button in the Dark Field
Correction Tab.
You can import previously saved
Dark Fields by using the Import Button .
Now, simply
Left-Click in the Enable check box in
the Dark Field Correction’s box to have Dark
Fields applied in real time to your images.
Reduce Exposure Time to Align Telescope
As you will most likely use the camera to align and focus your Telescope, now is
the time to reduce the
Exposure Time
to
1
or
2
seconds, and if not already
attached to the Telescope,
remove the lens cap
from the
SkyRaider Camera
and insert the camera into the eyepiece holder of your telescope. The shorter
exposure will make it easier for you to align and focus your telescope.
Left-Click
on the
STOP
button in the
Trigger Mode
screen, and now select
Video
Mode
. Turn off the enable on Dark Fields. In the
Video Mode
, move the slider (or
enter the time) to some value less than 5 seconds (note that the units are in
milliseconds, so 1 second = 1000 ms), and align and focus your telescope. In
Video Mode, images are automatically continuously taken.
Increase Exposure Time to Image
Now is the time to expose some
Deep Sky Objects
or
Planetary Objects
. So, go
back into
Trigger Mode
(if you are imaging
Deep Sky Objects
, else remain in
Video Mode
if imaging
Planetary Objects
) and adjust the
Exposure Time
to
match the current target and the equipment you are using.
If you have enabled the
Dark Field Corrections for this session ( Dark Fields are
stored directly in the SkyRaider Camera and will be deleted when the camera is
turned off), the SkyRaider will automatically apply the best Dark Field Correction
to your image when Dark Field Correction is enabled .
