Just make sure you have your camera defaulted in the DISPLAY tab/CCD (there has been an update recently on newer model cameras) OR default to one with the same size chip you are using and then simply go to the small box where you must enter the focal length in mm. of your telescope.  That will set the scale for the display.

Subject: [guide-user] Setting up the CCD Frame and Guide chip Frame

This is probably an obvious question. But how do you set up the FOV of the CCD Frame and Guide chip Frame? We have use one setup so long, can't remember how this is done. We are going from a 16" f/9 to an AP RH f/3.8 and changing from an SBIG STXL 11002 to an SBIG STXL 16200.


Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
