3. For user guide: The Pictor will take an image and display it, then prompt you to double click on the object you wish to guide on. After confirmation, the camera will then guiding on the selected object.

4. While autoguiding, a display will appear that shows each successive correction made by the Pictor. This will continue until you press the Stop Autoguiding button.
