Are any of the folks following this thread using both of the following features of auto-focus at the same time:
- Auto adjust focus per filter
- Temperature Compensation
Does this work for you? It fails misrably for me. Many tests on two different scope/camera combos.
I am not sure that I have a confirmation from the developers that this is an acknowledged bug and that it is a high priority to fix it.
It is causing major problems for me with the auto-focus routine. For years this was not an issue for me because my Baader filters were enough par-focal for me to just use L for focusing. When I shifted to Astrodon filters, the focus range is 75 steps, which is about 3 focus intervals, a huge difference. I can’t successfully mix different filters for the same target. This has forced me to focus for every filter then take many images with that filter. This means I have to run the focus routine for NB filters, which we all agree is very problematic. Particularly when the auto-focus routine accepts terrible data points as legitimate, and then moves the focus to some totally bogus position. We badly need a measure of focus quality so the routine will do nothing if the curve quality is poor.
