The Blink function rapidly displays the video buffer data in sequence to
reveal differences between images. Used after the
Align function, Blink can help you find asteroids or comets that have
changed position between the exposures, or fixed objects that have
changed brightness. If you are using a VGA screen, the action may be too fast
depending on your computer speed.

After selecting Blink, you are given a choice to view image A followed by image B, or image A followed by image B followed by image C in a continuous loop. Press {ESC} to quit the Blink function and return to the Main Menu.
If you are going to look at a sequence of three images, Load the middle image in Buffer B and the third image in Buffer A. Use the Align function to align the third image with the middle one (in Buffer B). Then copy the aligned third image (which is still in Buffer A) to Buffer C. Next, load the first image in the sequence into Buffer A and repeat the alignment process, again using the middle image in Buffer B. When the alignment process is finished, you will have the first sequential image in A, the second sequential image in B and the third sequential image in C. Invoking the A->B->C mode of the Blink function will then give you the correct progression of the image sequence.
