NOTE:
If you are connected to Origin while running the
schedule, the app may download the fi nal stacked masters
automatically. If this occurs, you won't see a download icon
next to the object in the schedule. Instead, you'll see a right
chevron, which takes you to the fi nal stacked master image.
You can usually use the automatic and default settings while
running Tonight's Imaging Schedule. The automatic/default
settings are as follows:
Image Duration
• 1 minute for stars
• 5 minutes for open star clusters
• 10 minutes for globular star clusters and planetary nebulae
• 20 minutes for galaxies and diffuse nebulae
Camera Settings
• 10-second sub-exposures
• ISO 200
You can also manually change the imaging settings for each
object in the schedule from the Tonight's Schedule screen.
Tap on an object in the list, and you'll be able to adjust settings
(Figure 21):
Image Start Time
• Allows you to set the Minimum Start Time for each object.
Image Duration
• Allows you to set the total exposure time for each object.
Camera Settings
• Allows you to change sub-exposure duration: 10, 15, or 30
seconds.
• Allows you to change the ISO: 100, 200, or 2000.
NOTE:
For objects near the zenith, don't use 30 second sub-
exposures due to altazimuth fi eld rotation.
NOTE:
If you are under light-polluted skies and not using the
Nebula Filter for Origin, don't use ISO 2000. The background
may become too bright for Origin to see stars and plate-solve.
