How do I invoke autofocus in a sequence?

I am new to SGP, last night was the second time out with it. I had things running pretty well except for autofocusing problems. I followed Ken’s recommendations on binning and step size and was able (manualy) to get a good v curve and focus. I thought I had autofocus set up to run after every two frames, but it didn’t happen. After 2 frames it immediately went to the 3rd frame and started an exposure. I’ve read the help files, manual, and “SGP The First Week”. I must be missing something. Any ideas?

In the auto focus settings set it to auto focus every 2 frames:

Also make sure “Use auto focus” is checked in the control panel:

Those two things should get it done!

Thanks,
Jared

Thanks for the quick reply. I thought I had done just those things, I will check it again. If my luck holds out I will have clear skies tonight and maybe I can gather more Ha.

Hello,

in the last Session there was ,filter change with no sharp stars…because i set the Auto focus to …
every 30min + (new) 1degree change
