These tutorials provide an introduction to basic camera operations, including equipment setup, focusing, taking exposures, and autoguiding. It is highly recommended that all users review the tutorials prior to operating a camera with MaxIm DL.
We recommend that the first "imaging session" be done at your desk, rather than under the stars, so that you can become familiar with the operation of the software and your DSLR camera.
Before using a DSLR camera for the first time, we strongly recommend you review the DSLR Exposure Control section, and also the section under Camera and Autoguider Setup for your specific model.
