LightSwitch LS6 & LS8 Calibration
Calibrating your Lightswitch telescope will enable you to tune several aspects of the telescope for peak
performance including pointing accuracy and camera image quality which helps with auto-alignment.
Calibration can be done during daytime but you must take care not to point your telescope to or close to the
Sun since this cause to both your telescope and eyes.
Dark Calibration: Allows you to
take a dark frame of the same
exposure as your image but with
the camera lens covered to
combine and subtract out noise
from your image. You must
cover the camera lens with the
lens cap before you take the
dark calibration frame.

Azimuth Drive allows you train your azimuth
drive for peak pointing accuracy.
Elevation Drive allows you train your
elevation drive for peak pointing accuracy.
Finder Center recomputes the center of the
ECLIPS camera. When you change
diagonals or other equipment the alignment
of the equipment with the ECLIPS camera
can change. If you are getting good
alignments, but objects are consistently off
center by the same amount, you should use
the option to improve centering.
