Steve, I cannot get the camera calibration routine to work. I right click on the corner of the FOVI for my camera and left click in the center and I keep getting a message saying my camera size is zero. I am using 64bit Vista if that matters. What am I doing wrong? I got the calibration to work once but it said my camera was 30.4' x 1'.

Hi Larry!

When you right click on the corner of your camera, you will get a popup (from Sky6, not CCDN) that lists a bunch of options. One of them is "Center". Click that and Sky6 will move the corner to the center of the screen. That's how CCDN measures the size of the camera. Later instructions will tell you to do something similar for the guide box.

I'll see if I can make the language in the CCDN on-screen instructions clearer. You're not the only person to make this mistake.

That did the trick. I see now how I was confused. Thanks.

Yeah, that word "Center" can get folks clicking in the middle of the FOVI. I just revised it to say:

- Click on the word "CENTER" in the popup

Maybe that'll be less confusing? I'm open to suggestions.

Just to be extra sure you might add the words "popup dialog box". I kept thinking the extra lines around the ccd fovi box was the "popup" you were referring to.
