You now need to set up the camera control defaults (shown above), as follows:
Start SXV-Hmf by clicking on the icon and select the ‘File’ menu. Now select ‘Set
program defaults’ and a window, which contains the various software settings, will
appear. Suggested starting defaults are as follows:
1) Background Image area Red (or as preferred)
2) FITS Unsigned Integer format Off
3) Star mask size (area used for photometry and guiding) 8 pixels
4) Telescope guiding output to ‘autoguider socket’
The other default settings are not important for current purposes and may be left as
the software start-up values for now.
