10. Multiple Users
With a traditional telescope, only one person can look through
the eyepiece at a time. With Origin, there are several ways to
have multiple people observe at once.
The easiest and simplest way is to have others observe on
your device with you. We highly recommend using a tablet for
this application to provide a bigger observing screen.
A variation on this is to "cast" the image on your device
onto a big-screen TV. This requires additional external
equipment,depending on your device:
• For iOS devices, you'll need an AirPlay-compatible smart
TV or external device, such as AppleTV or specific 4K Roku
devices.
• For Android devices, you'll need a Google Chromecast-
compatible smart TV or external device, such as the
Chromecast, Fire TV, or Roku.
Alternatively, multiple people can observe Origin's images on
their devices simultaneously. To do this, each user will need
to download the Origin app. Then, everyone can connect
to Origin and view the image from the Camera View. Each
person can save the final image on their own device! Anyone
connected with the app can control Origin, so you'll need to
coordinate with your friends and family. Origin works best with
one user controlling the telescope while the others watch from
the Camera View.
You may receive a Low Bandwidth Warning message if
too many people connect to Origin at once. To improve
performance, we recommend turning on "Bin Live Images"
under Menu>Settings>Advanced. This combines pixels
so that they act as a single larger pixel. This reduces image
resolution, but the effect should not be noticeable when
viewing on a device. Binning does not affect the resolution of
the final stacked master that downloads after pressing "End
Imaging, " just the "live" images displayed during imaging in
the Camera View. Network Connect mode generally provides
more bandwidth than Direct Connect mode, but it depends
on the quality of your home network router. If you can use
Network Connect mode with multiple users, we recommend
trying that first.
