Auto exposure and Altair 290M

Nothing in the manual about this. Tick the box but the histogram still shrivels away as light fades on my all sky dome.

What should it be doing / how is it activated and set up?

Thanks Rob

Hi,

it looks to me as though the auto exposure time is currently limited to about 300-400ms. However there seems to be a way for me to change this limit, so I will see if I can set it to something useful (say 10-15s)

cheers,

Robin
