DO'S | DON'TS |
1. Update your Stellina each time a new software version is released | 6. Avoid using Stellina when it's windy |
2. Place Stellina on stable ground | 7. Avoid moving around Stellina during its use to prevent the instrument from vibrating (i.e.: 2 meters) |
3. Take Stellina out at least 30 minutes before starting the initialization so that the telescope is at the same temperature as the ambient one (it can influence the focus) | 8. Avoid using Stellina immediately after taking it out from a warm environment to a cold environment (i.e.: from 25°C to 0°C) |
4. Let Stellina stack images subject to the exposure time we recommend in the catalog, especially when there is light pollution | 9. Do not start the initialization in broad daylight (it will fail) or when the night has not yet fallen |
5. Wait at least 1 hour after sunset | 10. Do not start an observation less than 1 hour before sunrise |
