- You can use SkySafari to find, view and point objects tin the sky. You can also get a
preview of the area framed in the sky based on the focal length of your telescope
and the type of sensor you use. in order to do this press the "Observe" button and
then click on Equipment. In the window that opens you can insert your telescope
(TELESCOPES) with diameter and focal length. Then you can enter your camera
(CAMERAS) with resolution and pixel size. Click "Done" at the top right when you
are done.
- Now click "Observe" and then "Scope Display". In the window that opens click the
"Add FOV Indicator" button. In the window that opens, select your telescope, your
camera and, if you have previously added a focal reducer or multiplier, add this
option as well. Click the "Done" button at the top right to confirm. In this way
SkySafari will calculate the real field framed by your telescope and camera,
showing it on the sky chart.
- You will be able to verify if the field is sufficient to photograph the whole object. In
the image below: not enough on the left, excellent on the right.
- In order to point an object, you can select it among the many objects shown in
SkySafari (you can click on the stars, planets, galaxies, nebulae or star clusters) and
then click the GoTo button. The mount will move to the requested object.
- Now you can mode to the EAGLE App to control camera, focus, autoguide and
record your pictures.
