Note: There are two layers called Zenith and Nadir. Zenith refers to the point straight overhead, while Nadir refers to the spot
directly below the mount. You can include these layers if you choose, or you may delete them if you do not want images taken straight
up or straight down. If you delete these layers and attempt to save your changes, the hand control will ask if you want to add these
layers back in.

appropriate time setting. This can be between 0.1 seconds to 999.9 seconds.
Note: The mount’s exposure time does not refer to the camera’s exact shutter speed. This refers to the timing of the ON and OFF shutter
release signal sent from the mount to the camera. Usually the exposure time setting of this snap signal should be longer than the exposure
time setting on the camera. The actual shutter speed and aperture adjustments should be made on the camera itself. The mount does not
control this.
