Save 10/12/14 bit images...

Regarding this option:

Save 10/12/14 bit images in FITS files without stretching to 16 bit.
[Advanced use for Astrometry only. Altair, QHY, ZWO cameras only. Read Documentation.]

Hi Robin,

May I suggest some changes to the wording:

1. Replace "stretching" with "scaling". I can't speak for others but stretching to me implies the possible use of exotic transfer functions whereas scaling is a simple multiplication by a constant.

2. Replace "Astrometry only" with "Photometry". I think that most users would agree that Astrometry and Plate Solving are related. So I think their inclination is to check this box because they want plate solving.

Thanks,
Brian

Thank you, makes sense - I am basically trying to dissuade average users from checking this!

cheers,
