Histogram Display And Controls - Meade Deep Sky Imager Manual

Histogram Display and Controls

The Histogram controls allow you more control of the brightness, contrast and mid-
range tones of your Deep Sky Imager camera.
Experiment with these controls. Select an easily focused terrestrial image and adjust the
Histogram sliders. You will notice the Live image growing brighter or darker, and even
notice mid-tones becoming more visible. You will have to adjust these sliders differently
for each object and can adjust the sliders "on the fly" as you are creating a
composite image.
You can also use these control when you select Preview. When you return to the live
image, it will apply the setting you choose while in the preview mode.
Note: The effect of the sliders is saved in all file types.
Autocontrast: Automatically sets the sliders for the best contrast. You can change the
settings from 1 through 5 to set more contrast. Each number provides a higher level of
contrast than the last; 5 is good for very dim objects.
Shadow Enhance: Helps bring out details in the shadows (gamma).
