Please enter here the total exposure time you need for the current session. Please note that the system will automatically add 50% of session time for technical operations, which is free for the customer. But in case of multiple relatively short (180-300 seconds) exposures in one session the time for the technical operations can increase, which potentially can cause some of the shots loss due to session time limit. In this case the customer account will be refunded accordingly.

Autofocus every

Autofocus every – this option inputs the time interval between the periodic telescope focusing. Due to temperature gradient is not very high at the night time, one hour is recommended. Please note the system will refocus at each filter change by default

Auto guide

Auto guide – choosing this option you allow the system to autoguide all your images. Strongly recommended.

Dithering – this function makes offset for some pixels in each frame. This was done to increase SIGNAL to NOISE ratio of final image. It is 3 pixels by default. 6-10 pixels is recommended.

 Dithering

READOUT MODE – according to our statistic 16803 sensor is not suffering from “ghosts” so we highly recommend to use 1 MHz mode (without RBI Flood)
