Dark Subtraction Setup Dialog
The Dark Subtraction Dialog allows setup of the automatic dark
subtraction during the imaging process..
Dialog Entries
Dark Subtract Images
This checkbox enables or disables the automatic dark
subtraction feature of the AllSky-340 software.
Maximum Dark Age
This defines how often to take a new dark frame when the exposure
time doesn't change. Since the AllSky-340 is uncooled, the dark
current can change with ambient, thus it can be important to take
new darks on a regular basis.
Exposure Time Tolerance
This value determines how much of a change in exposure time will
require a new dark frame. If a dark is taken with a 60 second
exposure and the exposure time tolerance is 10%, a new dark will
be taken when the exposure time changes to less than 54 seconds,
or greater than 66 seconds.
Ok Button
This accepts the entered values and closes the dialog.
Cancel Button
This discards any changes and closes the dialog.
Still Images Setup Dialog
The Still Images Setup dialog defines what still images to save, and
where to put them.
