Figure 7. Because the StarShoot Pro is sensitive to light, an aperture mask is needed on the telescope for any imaging during daylight. For a refractor, the hole should be centered on the aperture mask. For a reflector, the hole should be off to one side of the aperture mask.

4.Open Maxim DL Essentials by clicking on the icon installed on your com- puter’s desktop. Once open, Essentials should automatically connect to your camera and display the Camera Control Window.

5.Remove the eyepiece from your telescope.

7.Set the mode to Light Color 1x1 in the Camera Control Window. Set the Seconds (exposure time) to .01 to begin with. In the box underneath the Mode box, select Focus. Make sure the Dark Subtract box is unchecked. Check the Delay box so you can easily stop the exposures when the cam- era is focused.

8.Press the Expose button in the Camera Control Window. The camera will take short exposures and display them on the computer screen. For daytime imaging, open the Screen Stretch Window (in the View menu), and set the stretch mode to Moon.
