Page 4: Getting To Know Your Camera
The Atik ACIS uses 12-bit analogue to digital converters. Power Consumption Atik Cameras are designed to have low power consumption to improve performance in the field. If you would like to run the camera from a 110/220V mains supply, make sure it’s of good quality with a 2.1mm type plug, centre positive and capable of supplying a minimum of 2.5 amp. -
Page 5: Usb Port
USB Port The Atik ACIS can be used with either a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 cable. Your camera comes with USB3 lead, any good quality USB2 lead will work to give you the flexibility to choose whichever suits your set up and your imaging requirements best. -
Page 6: Dark Frames
Dark Frames To get the most out of your Atik ACIS camera for astrophotography, we recommend processing your images using dark frames. You can take dark frames by covering the front of the camera with a lens cap. Dark frames should be taken at the same temperature, exposure length and with the same gain and offset settings as your light frames. -
Page 7: Gain Presets
Gain Pre-sets We provide three gain pre-sets, and the option to use your own custom settings. The pre-sets are: Low - Best for normal imaging. It is the best setting for detail in brighter objects and when individual images have high dynamic range. Medium - A compromise of low and high. -
Page 8: Replacing The Desiccant
Even Illumination – The ‘Even illumination’ determines how the sensor is cleared between images. With the checkbox unchecked, the whole sensor is cleared immediately before the exposure begins. This results in a less-noisy image. However, as the image takes around 67ms to read out, you may see a slight gradient in the image. -
