 The CCDs used at the OST are all tethered remotely. The programs used for this are [[en:ost:ccds:maximdl|Maxim DL]] or [[en:ost:ccds:ccdops|CCDOPS]], the use of which is not the subject of this article. This article focuses on the use of a digital or compact camera and is therefore also applicable outside the astronomical field.  The CCDs used at the OST are all tethered remotely.

 The much more comprehensive software solution is Darktable. It offers far more functions, but these are mainly used in the field of professional photography. For astronomical purposes these are mostly not helpful. Moreover, the large range of functions comes at the expense of clarity. Especially when used in combination with a laptop that only has a smaller screen, the very extensive Darktable quickly causes confusion. The much more comprehensive software solution is Darktable.

 If the menu bar on the left is not displayed, a click on the blue highlighted gear wheel on the screenshot will help. On the left side, the most common setting options are now displayed collectively. This overview can be extended by clicking on the small gear wheel at the end. From the now much longer list, the desired elements can be selected.  However, the important settings are already available at the beginning. Below the settings, a histogram is displayed according to the color channels as soon as an image is available or the live mode is active. If the menu bar on the left is not displayed, a click on the blue highlighted gear wheel on the screenshot will help.
