CCD Camera Control (MaxIm DL/CCD)
- Supports more CCD cameras than any competing software
- Controls both your CCD camera and autoguider
- Convenient separate controls for exposing and focusing
- Fully adjustable binning and subframes; select subframes by draging
the mouse on an image
- Image calibration options include none, simple auto-dark, and full
calibration including bias, dark, and flat-field
- Expose calibration frames
- Sophisticated sequencing tool for taking multiple images with
different filters, exposure, binning, exposure type (light, bias, dark,
flat). Up to 16 slots for all settings with optional separate repeat
count and automatic script execution. Group by slot or image each slot
in sequence. Save/load sequences. Adjustable delay before and between
images.
- Convenient Sequence Wizard to make setting up standard sequence
configurations quick and easy. Includes options for RGB and LRGB image
sets, capturing calibration frames, and monochrome imaging.
- Auto-mosaic an area of the sky, executing a complete image sequence at
each location
- Automatically dither each exposure position to smooth out effects of
hot pixels. Works via telescope mount or via autoguider.
- Automatically realign periodically using PinPoint LE astrometric
engine. Keeps long, unguided sequences from drifting off-target.
- Automatically pause FocusAide
- Automatically flip or rotate images
- Measure shutter latency and record exposure start time to 0.01 seconds
- Focus tools for both main CCD and autoguider, including 3-D star plot,
maximum pixel value, full-width half maximum, and half flux diameter
- Large focus information display for manual focusing away from screen
- Extensive image details added to FITS header
- Define your own FITS header keys to be added to each image
- Fully ActiveX scriptable including events
- Configurable audible alerts with user-selectable .WAV files
