Flat Field Calibration Wizard

This control will start a process that will help eliminate any optical spots caused by dust and
particles on the optical path (from lenses to mirrors on the telescope). This Wizard will walk you
through taking a couple of images so it can detect and remove the imperfections making a more
uniform image.

Histogram

Step 5
Hiding in the Image Adjust Tab is a useful tool that will assist you in imaging astronomical
objects quickly and easily. The Live Image Histogram allows you to either manually control
the brightness of each of the color channels or let the software perform this task for you. This
allows you to pull out as much detail hidden in the image as you can.
Again, if you get messed up with in making adjustments, this Tab provides a Default Button
that will reset everything back to the default settings.
It will take you the most amount of time to become comfortable with the tools in this Image
Adjust Tab. Don't be afraid to experiment with the settings.
HD-10 II User Manual
Contrast is the scale of difference between black and white in your images.
Without contrast you wouldn't have an image because there wouldn't be
any differentiation between light and dark; everything would be black, white,
or a single shade of grey somewhere in between.
- Sharpness can be defined as edge contrast, that is, the contrast along edges
in an object in the image. When we increase sharpness, we increase the
contrast only along/near edges in the object while leaving smooth areas of
the image alone.
This represents for Dead Pixel Correction and is used to detect and remove
dead pixels from the active image.
