Collimation
No matter what type
of
telescope you
image with, poor collimation (alignment
of
the optics) will ruin your chances for a good
image. Before you begin imaging, always
check the collimation
of
your instrument and
make adjustments if necessary. Refer to your
telescopes owner's manual for instruction
in
collimating the optics.
Finding Objects
At first it can
be
difficult to locate individual
planets due to their relative brightness.
To
make it easier to initially find your object
in
the
imaging window, increase the brightness and
gain controls
on
the Exposure
Tool
Bar.
This will
allow you to better see the object
as
it passes
through the imaging window. Once the object
is
located and centered, you can adjust the setting
until the object
is
at the desired brightness and
contrast.
Video Length
At first you may think that the more frames
you record the better. However there are some
limitation to the duration
of
video and the
amount
of
frames you can acquire. Resolution
and file size can both limit the length
of
time
of
your video. Since the Nexlmage will combine
as
many sharp frames
as
possible to achieve
one high quality image, you don't want to take
so
many images that
you
start to detect the
rotation
of
the planet, especially
on
Jupiter
which makes one complete rotation
in
under
10
hours!
8 I ENGLISH
Also each frame
of
a high resolution video
can equal a large file
size.
Hundreds
of
frames
can take up much
of
your hard drive space.
Since file sizes
of
each video taken can be quite
large, it
is
recommended that you save your
video data onto a CD-ROM. This way
you can have a library
of
files stored for
processing without filling up your hard drive
in
the process.
