Instructions for "Star HD"

[dts350z]

Where can I find instructions/more info on "Star HD". The manual only has one sentence.

 

Thanks,

Z,

 

This brief description may be useful:

 

Clicking on the Star HD Tool shows or hides the LiveView enhancement tools.  These tools provide the ability to adjust the displayed LiveView image to improve frame and focus.

When displayed, the controls of the Star HD Tool are positioned immediately above the LiveView image display area.

The Brightness, Contrast, and Gammasliders adjust the image to improve the ability view dim, hard-to-see stars.

The Edge1 and Edge 2 checkboxes adjust the display to enhance the edges of brighter objects in order to improve detection of those objects.

The Logarithm checkbox allows you to do a simple logarithmic stretch which brightens the entire image but brightens darker areas more than the lighter areas.

The Invert checkbox cause the display to be inverted. That is, dark areas become light and the light areas become dark.

The Stack slider allows you to brighten the image by additively stacking multiple LiveView frames. 

The default value is 1 (no stacking) but you can choose to stack up 20 frames.

 

The Presets dropdown list provides several preset groups of settings that may be useful.

 

If any of the above information contradicts what you know about the Star HD behavior, please correct me.
