Hello! I’m checking to see if anyone uses a ZWO EAF on a Meade LX200 classic. I’d like feedback on the parameters used in the SGPro autofocus routine.
I updated the Robofocus to an EAF. I use SGPro4 and Windows 11. I deforked the 8” LX200 tube and attached it to a Ioptron HEM44 mount housed at Starfront Observatories in Texas.
Autofocus is erratic. The half flux diameter does not seem to move for several moves of the EAF before finallyu engaging. I’ve gone through the AF routine to try to identify the HFD change with defocus in order to set the step parameters, but there is no consistency. I also tried setting different moves settings (9 in total as recommended) from 50 to 400, all with the same results
I’ve asked Starfront observatories to check the connections for slippage since they installed the focuser. However, if anyone is using an EAF on and LX200, I would appreciate guidance as to what parameters you use. Thank you.
Mike
