Capturing Images - Celestron 95507 Instructional Manual

CAPTURING IMAGES

Detailed Solar System images are created by stacking several individual images
or "frames" to one master image. The images are captured in video, allowing you
to accumulate hundreds of frames in just a few seconds. The video fi les will later
be exported to RegiStax and processed as shown in "Processing Images. "
1.
Set up your telescope and point it at a bright target such as the Moon or
Jupiter. Center the target in your eyepiece, then remove the eyepiece.
Remove the diagonal if you are using one. Some refractor telescopes may
require an extension tube when used without the diagonal.
2.
Plug the camera into your computer's USB port. If
equipped, use the USB 3.0 port on your computer,
which may also bear the USB SuperSpeed logo
(see right). When connecting the cable to Skyris,
use the threaded fasteners to provide the most
secure connection.
3.
Insert the camera into the 1.25" eyepiece holder on your telescope as
shown previously in this manual, "Connecting the Camera to a Telescope. "
4.
Locate the iCap shortcut on your desktop and open iCap.
