it with a fresh one. Replace the port cover and tighten (no need to over-
tighten). Wait 24 hours before connecting the camera again.
- To recharge the desiccant, place the tablet in an electric oven at 200ºC
for a couple of hours. Take it from the oven, wait a few minutes for it to
cool down slightly, then put it back in the camera and wait 24 hours.
You will notice that there is a filter inside the desiccant chamber. The purpose
of this is to avoid contamination of the chamber when the desiccant is being
replaced. The filter is very fragile and should not be touched.

The following table gives the angular resolution per pixel with certain focal
distances. The formula to calculate any other focal length is:
(Pixel Size (μm) / Focal Distance (mm)) * 206.3 = angular resolution (arcseconds/pixel)
