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 DS287 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 SkyRaiderDS287 from the Camera List in the Camera Tab.
Step 2
With the Camera Tab selected on the Left SideBar, Left-Click
on the SkyRaiderDS287 (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.
