Since the NexImage will combine as many sharp frames as possible to achieve one high-quality
image, you don’t want to take so many images that you start to detect the rotation of the planet,
especially on Jupiter which makes one complete rotation in under 10 hours!
Individual frames of a high-resolution video can have large file sizes. Hundreds of these frames
can quickly consume an entire hard drive. We recommend saving your video data onto a CD-ROM.
This way, you can have a library of files stored for processing without consuming hard disk space.
Autoguiding
Your NexImage can be used as an autoguiding camera when used in conjunction with
an off-axis guider or piggyback guidescope. NexImage is compatible with many autoguiding
software such as MetaGuide (www.astrogeeks.com/Bliss/MetaGuide), and a guider port
interface such as GPUSB from Shoestring Astronomy (www.store.shoestringastronomy.com).
