1. Rotator Control:
Use automatic or manual rotation control when using Load & Slew.
For automatic control, the mechanized rotator is commanded to rotate to match the
desired position angle. For manual control, the user is asked to manually rotate the
camera until the desired position angle is reached.
2. Threshold:
Rotator threshold in arc-minutes when using Load & Slew. If the difference
between measured position angle and FITS position angle is below this value, the load
& slew operation is considered successful.
3. Use Scale:
Set image scale to speed up solver as it does not have to search index
files of different images scales.
4. Use Position:
Set estimated speed to speed up astrometry solver as it does not have
to search in other areas of the sky.
Manual Slew
If the option is enabled, after each capture, the you have to rotate the mount apporixmately
by the specified amount as shown. Once done, press the yellow check button to continue.
