I'm no optician, but I'd say what you'd need would be a lens like corrector similar to the ones you find in CDK's and similar systems.

Philip, I got asked the very same question by some people in USA, so I made a quick video of me using the On Screen Display and showing the settings I use the most.

I hope you can understand it and that it helps

The SCC-A2333 and the SCB-4000 are the same camera.

For other tutorials I have done for the SCC-A2333/SCB-4000, go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3Hh7JN3E-k

Hi Ken looked at your utube video of settings for the camera.was very helpful, thanks, however how do you access the AGC sub menu as shown in the manual, so that you can manually adjust the gain?

Yes Philip, firstly make sure that the Day/Night option is not set on AUTO.
It must be on DAY (Hopefully you have the IR filter out of the camera)

Secondly make sure 'Flickerless' is OFF

In SENS-UP any AUTO setting will make the GAIN set it self automatically (not good).
Only use FIX settings (or OFF). This will allow you to set the Gain yourself. (see 'MOTION' change over to 'AGC' on my video at 2:08 by changing the SENS-UP to FIX)

Now go up to AGC and you can scroll through the settings by clicking the select button sideways.
In AGC USER or FIX you can centre push the settings button which will open the AGC Sub-menus.

I leave my AGC set on VERY HIGH. I have stayed away from the levels in the Sub-Menus so far.

Hope that helps

Hi Ken,
Thanks for your patience , I haven't removed the filter yet.I am just running it through it's paces while under warranty to make sure it's ok . Will take the ir filter out in a week or so when I am confident it's working ok.
Thanks again, regards philip

The camera will still work OK on the sky with the factory IR filter in place, but it does cut off a lot of light, and some objects just don't show up very well.
It is still usable as an astro video camera.

But yeah, rip that filter out as soon as possible
