For this driver, please select Celestron on the Setup tab.
Installation Note: The drivers for this camera are available from Windows Update, and will install automatically on Windows 7 and higher if you have an internet connection. The drivers are also available on the AstroFX CD-ROM supplied with the camera.
Splash Screen turns on/off a brief display of the camera model and serial number that is displayed when the connection is made to the camera.
The Advanced button can be used to access the fan speed control. When the camera is connected, this setting is available under Camera Settings on the Expose tab Options menu.
This allows you to adjust the fan speed. For optimum cooling set Fan Speed to High. For quieter operation use Medium or Low. Please note that the cooling may not be as effective at lower fan settings.
Readout Modes
The Nightscape has two readout modes:
Raw - sensor reads out completely into internal memory, then downloads to the PC. No debayer is performed, and the image appears monochrome with a superimposed Bayer pattern.
Color - sensor reads out completely into internal memory, then downloads to the PC. Image is converted to color upon download.
For Color camera models, the Color option converts the image to color immediately. For best quality, it is preferable to download Raw images, calibrate them, and then convert them to color using the Convert Color command.
Availability of this feature depends on Product Level.
