In order to calibrate the camera with a dark frame, define the amount of frames to

accumulate in the field 'Frame count'. Cover the guide objective to prevent light from

penetrating the camera and press the 'Start' button. At the end of the process the dark

frame will be formed, that will be substracted from every new frame, taken from the

camera, if the 'use calibration' parameter is chosen in the dialogue box of the guide setup.

value 'Auto' is the dynamic threshold calculation. The value 'No thresh.' - threshold

calculation is disabled.
