be moved or rotated.)

If the NEW image processing mode is selected, the last FWHM
value ("diameter of the star") is shown above the guiding window as
"W=□.□□", the unit is pixels. If star is not found on the last frame,
"W=?" is displayed.

Save pos.
: (switch)
If not checked (-) nothing is done. If checked () and autoguiding is not in progress,
each new absolute star positions (if any) are saved to the open file. Absolute means
that the raw CCD coordinates (X and Y) are used instead of RA/DEC. Coordinate
values are meant in the unit of CCD pixel. About pixel sizes see 6.
The PC application uses a block of this data to generate Periodic Error output files
automatically.
Output behaviour into the file is undefined (but not invalid) if leaving the switch on
and using the autoguider's other functions.

wait
: (decimal, 0...250 ms) profile
Wait time between the guiding exposures. The mounts' reaction time is never ideal for
the autoguider signals. If there is a bright enough guiding star, this wait time can be
used to wait some until the mount can react and before the next guiding exposure
should start. Using adequate guiding parameters this value can be left constantly 0.

Negative
: (switch)
If checked, this makes all the frames coming from the camera to be inverted, like it
was a negative film, even at LiveView.
Use this eg. when You want to guide on a sunspot.

without a suitable filter and blending, it will burn out the device as would do
for Your naked eyes!)
Note that the star search function will fail, it is not designed for a negative image.
