Image Calibration of QHY10 CCD
Image calibration means to calibrate the CCD with
a BIAS field, a DARK field and a FLAT field. You
can completely remove thermal noise of the CCD
through proper calibration. Additionally ,you can
obtain better image highlights. You can remove
dark spots which are caused by dust on the
surface of the CCD. Image calibration is a critical
step for serious astronomical photography.
In order to obtain accurate calibration information,
you need to use the QHY10 temperature
controller. CCD should be set in regulated
temperature state. And temperature should
remain the same when shooting .
The temperature control of EZCAP is located in
Temp Control of the menu bar of Setup. You can
stretch the temperature control section on the right
of the window of Temperature Control to set the
temperature what you want .And then select Auto
Control ,that means CCD has been the
homoeothermic control.
It will take some time to achieve the target
temperature for CCD. You have to wait a moment
until the temperature of CCD has been stable ,you
can start to shoot and calibrate image.
