autofocus question

Recommended Posts

For those using an autofocus unit do you use it to actually  auto focus as intended  or do you still use the bahtinov mask and manually tweak from the pc ,and what program do you favour to use to control.

I have used v curves and it worked well' but it took me a while to get it sorted out and is very handy for even a semi remote system.

but when i lost the the old obs pc i lost thecuves even though i had backed them so i thought , so i'm back to the bat mask now maybe i will redoit later in the year when i have a longer to set it up.

I think I will put on the to do list Steve , it’s handy just being able to be  to do focus from pc , more pressing stuff to get working first like guiding.
