TRACKING WITH THE LARGER FORMAT CCD OF THE ST-7/8

ISSUE

Sometimes it is desirable to calibrate/track with the larger format chip rather than the smaller format chip of the ST-7 or ST-8.

RESOLUTION

The user must create a new DWORD value in the Registry called “TrackWithImagingCCD” (this need only be done once), and set it to a non-zero value. Here’s how:

1. Close CCDSoft, if currently running.
2. Open the Registry Editor (Start / Run, type REGEDIT, then select OK).
3. Expand the HKEY_CURRENT_USER heading appearing in the list on the left side of the Registry Editor’s window.
4. Navigate through this list to Software, Software Bisque, CCDSoft, and then select the category ST7.
5. From the Edit menu, choose New, DWORD Value.
6. Rename New Value #1 as TrackWithImagingCCD.
7. Choose OK, or press Enter to accept the value name.
8. Double-click the value name (or its icon) to bring up the Edit DWORD Value dialog.
9. Set the Value Data to 1.
10. Choose OK. To leave the Registry, simply exit – your changes are already saved.

Refer to Appendix A of the CCDSoft manual for information on this, and other, Registry settings.
