Unofficial users manual
This manual was created as result of my experience with a brand new StarTracker.
Stars placement
Stars should be placed in at least two different levels. Distance between stars should be 1/10 of the stars height.
Initial calibration
Tools needed:
- Measuring tape.
- Laser measuring device.
- Gaffer tape.
For best practice, designate a startup calibration area, it could be at any part of your studio where the StarTracker can see stars. It is advised to build a calibration rig as the one built in the picture.
