CCDUTIL Manual Version 1.0 Printed September 1990 ©1990 Santa Barbara Instrument Group 1482 East Valley Road, Suite 601 Santa Barbara, CA 93108 Telephone (805) 969-1851 FAX (805) 969-0299 CCDUTIL - Image Processing Utilities for the ST-4 INTRODUCTION The CCDUTIL program is one in a series of programs from Santa Barbara Instrument Group to enhance the operation of the Model ST-4 Star Tracker and Imaging Camera. The program contains image processing utilities and special file utilities for interchanging image files from the ST-4 with other programs. The utilities include image translation and rotation with sub-pixel accuracy, flat field correction of images, filtering, and scaling. The CCDUTIL program uses image files previously captured and saved with the CCD software that came with your ST-4 and does not contain the routines necessary for interfacing directly to the ST-4. For that you will continue to use the CCD program. Getting Started This section describes what you need to do to get the CCDUTIL software up and running on your PC including installing the software. If you've spent any time with the CCD program included with the ST-4 you'll feel right at home and can briefly scan this and the following section. Making a Backup Copy The first thing you should do is make a backup copy of your CCDUTIL diskette and put the original away in a safe place. The program is not copy protected so you can use the DOS "DISKCOPY" command or your favorite utility. This doesn't mean the software isn't copyrighted though, which it is. Please don't give copies of the software away. SBIG CCDUTIL/0990 Page 1 SBIG S ANTA B ARBARA INSTRUMENT GROUP Making a backup copy is espec…
