K3CCD TOOLS AND WXASTRO CAPTURE PROVIDES A HISTOGRAM AID FOR EXPOSURE, BUT HOW DOES ONE INTERPRET THIS FEATURE?
Attached processed capture, which I consider to be reasonably exposed without a histogram and the second attached is a Photoshop histogram of this capture, which doesn't tell me a great lot other than the right hand side represents the high lights and the left the darks. One reads of clipping. What exactly does this represent on the histogram. Most captures of the waxing moon's terminator, will be light on the left grading to black on the right. What does one aim for using these diagrams to set the exposure? I apologize for the poor presentation of the graph but photographing it was the only way I could attach it.
