Collimation
No matter what type of telescope you
image with, poor collimation (alignment of
the optics) will ruin your chances for a good
image. Before you begin imaging, always
check the collimation of your instrument and
make adjustments if necessary. Refer to your
telescopes owner's manual for instruction in
collimating the optics.
Finding Objects
At first it can be difficult to locate individual
planets due to their relative brightness. To
make it easier to initially find your object in the
imaging window, increase the brightness and
gain controls on the Exposure Tool Bar. This will
allow you to better see the object as it passes
through the imaging window. Once the object is
located and centered, you can adjust the setting
until the object is at the desired brightness and
contrast.
Video Length
At first you may think that the more frames
you record the better. However there are some
limitation to the duration of video and the
amount of frames you can acquire. Resolution
and file size can both limit the length of time of
your video. Since the Nexlmage will combine
as many sharp frames as possible to achieve
one high quality image, you don't want to take
so many images that you start to detect the
rotation of the planet, especially on Jupiter
which makes one complete rotation in under
10 hours!

Also each frame of a high resolution video
can equal a large file size. Hundreds of frames
can take up much of your hard drive space.
Since file sizes of each video taken can be quite
large, it is recommended that you save your
video data onto a CD-ROM. This way
you can have a library of files stored for
processing without filling up your hard drive
in the process.
