Agreed, I have three modes of operation for my edge C-14
- C14 with Hyperstar F/2
- C14 with .7 focal reducer
- C14 with no focal reducer
I have an equipment profile for each configuration. Each configuration has a different Motor count when focused. It would be nice to have some variables added To the focus menue as follows
- Focus Temperature - Temperature Point at which auto focus was performed
- Focus point - Motor Point at which Focus was obtained
- Focal Temperature Drift - Motor steps per C to maintain focus
With these three variables the Focus could be slewed to a point where it is very close to focus and ready to perform a auto focus
There would need to be a routine needed as follows
- Focus point = Focus point + (Focus temperature - current temoerature) X Focal Temperature Drift
- Move Focal motor to calculated position
- Run Auto Focus
Right now I have a spread sheet with this information to make my set up some what more efficient
