Quick Workflow for MallincamSky

So, you don't like to read manuals, and you just want to just jump right into
imaging. Then this section gives you a Quick and Dirty method to get going.
Then, I follow this section with an even more detailed section on Planetary
Imaging Workflow, and finally a more detailed section on Workflow on Imaging
Deep Sky Objects.
The Mallincam SkyRaider DS16C Cameras provide a processing technique
called Dark Field Correction (see the Section Dark Field Explanation in the
Appendix for a complete description of Dark Field Correction).
Double Click on the MallincamSky Icon to start the program.
Step 1
Select the SkyRaiderDS16C from the Camera List in the Camera Tab.
Step 2
With the Camera Tab selected on the Left SideBar, Left-
Click on the SkyRaiderDS16C (between lines in Camera
Heading). Once the SkyRaider is selected, a black
rectangle (with SkyRaider Camera name) will appear in
the Video Window of the MallincamSky Software along
with the Horizontal and Vertical Rulers.
If you are imaging planetary objects or don't require Darks, then jump to Step 5.
Select an Exposure Time for Dark Field Correction
Step 3
With the Camera Tab selected on the Left SideBar, Left-
Click on the Capture & Resolution. The Exposure & Gain
Window will expand select the exposure time for the Dark
Field.
You must determine what you believe will be the
maximum exposure for this session. As, you will create Dark
Field's with this time (or close to it).
If you are taking a maximum exposure under 5s, then
select Video Mode, but since most Deep Sky Objects will
require an exposure of over 5s, choose Trigger Mode.
