are some limitations 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 RegiStax will combine as many sharp frames as possible to achieve one
high-quality image, you don't want to take too many images that you start to
detect the rotation of the planet, especially on Jupiter which makes one complete
rotation in under 10 hours!
Also each frame of a high resolution video can equal a large file size. Hundreds
or thousands of frames will consume a significant amount of hard disk space. We
recommend storing your large video files on removable media, such as an external
hard drive or DVD.
SOLAR ImAGInG
Skyris cameras work well with solar telescopes or telescopes equipped with
solar filters, including Hydrogen-Alpha or white-light filters.
AuTOGuIDInG
Your Skyris can be utilized as an autoguiding camera when used in junction with an
off-axis guider or piggyback guidescope. Skyris is compatible with many autoguiding
software programs such as MetaGuide (www.astrogeeks.com/Bliss/MetaGuide), and
PHD Guiding (www.stark-labs.com/phdguiding.html) using a guider port interface
such as GPUSB from Shoestring Astronomy (www.store.shoestringastronomy.com).
Celestron mounts can be used without a GPUSB, simply by interfacing the PC to
the hand controller and connecting to the mount via ASCOM. An RS-232 to USB
adapter and serial cable is required.

C-mOunT LEnSES

Skyris cameras can be used with an optional C-mount lens (not included). The
threaded ring on the camera body provides C-mount distancing at 17.5mm.
