How to Use Enhanced Vision (Dynamic Signal Amplification) ?

Follow

Once you have targeted an object from the planetarium, the catalog, or using its RA/Dec coordinates, you can enable Enhanced Vision (Dynamic Signal Amplification) to begin stacking images of that object and observe it in detail.

The system uses its low-light sensor to continuously accumulate light through a series of short exposures.

The resulting image is also projected as it accumulates, meaning that once Enhanced Vision (Dynamic Signal Amplification) is activated, the object will continue to improve over time.

On the observation page, when a Goto is validated, the object appears faint, and the background is noisy in Live View.

To enable Enhanced Vision (Dynamic Signal Amplification), tap the Enhanced Vision button .

Once Enhanced Vision (Dynamic Signal Amplification) is enabled, the stacking process begins, and the image becomes increasingly detailed over time. A counter will then start incrementing every four seconds, which corresponds to the exposure time of each stacked image and cannot be adjusted.

You can turn off Enhanced Vision (Dynamic Signal Amplification) by pressing the button again.

Note: Feel free to check our article on the recommended observation times.

It can happen that the counter will not increment because some captures are rejected. You can learn more here: “Enhanced Vision disrupted” : What does it mean?
