Quick Button Shortcuts

Five preset button icons are available as shortcuts to setting multiple parameters at the same time.

Pressing the icon button will set multiple parameters to enable quick setup times and helps tailor camera settings to best match user’s telescope configuration.

Users can modify settings within the submenus and then press the save button for the software to assign current settings to that particular Preset button.

The settings that are saved and can be recalled via preset buttons are:

ALC

Fixed Shutter

AES

Slow Shutter

AGC

Peak Control

Priority

Luminance Menu (Figure 14)

ALC – Auto Luminance Control

Auto Luminance Control (ALC) indicates the image sensor’s ability to automati- cally adjust in diverse lighting conditions to yield the most vivid video image possible.

When ALC is active AES will be turned off automatically.

Fixed Shutter

When Fixed Shutter is active AES will be turned off automatically.

Figure 14. Luminance submenu.

When Fixed Shutter is active the following shutter speeds are available.

NTSC: (1/30s ~ 1/1000s)

1/30, 1/50, 1/60, 1/100, 1/120, 1/180, 1/350, 1/500, 1/750, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, 1/10000

PAL: (1/30s ~ 1/1000s)

1/25, 1/50, 1/60, 1/100, 1/120, 1/180, 1/350, 1/500, 1/750, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, 1/10000

Shutter speed should be selected to best suit the object being observed and the telescope being used.

For low light objects Fixed Shutter should be turned OFF.

AES – Auto Electronic Shutter (Rolling shutter)

AES is used when a manual or fixed iris lens is fitted and the shutter speed will respond to the amount of light to keep the signal at optimum level.

AES allows changing the iris level automatically without using the auto iris lens. Note: AES is not normally used for astronomy.

Slow Shutter (Sense Up)

Sense-Up: An image processing technology which allows user selectable digital slow shutter speeds in order to allow extra light into a camera thereby providing higher sensitivity in low light conditions.

The minimum frame integration is 1/15 second for NTSC (1/12 for PAL). The maximum frame integration is 8 seconds (NTSC and PAL).

Set Fixed Shutter SPEED (ALC) to OFF for sense-up frame integration.
