On a slower system 5-10mins would be possible. You don't need fast generated curves, but quality curves generated under >good conditions. Poor seeing reduces V curve accuracy, which leads to inaccurate focus point predictions.
Good luck Marc, it's the way to go!

Thanks Steve. Will double check the steps I used.

Forget all the hassles with FocusMax and MaxIm DL, focus on the same star field as you are imaging in, no slewing to and fro etc. As long as you have some good darks for your autofocus routine all you will need to be is focused at the start of your sequence.
Works for me and I have forgotton what MaxIm is as I do all my processing in PI with some tiny tweaks in PS.

Thanks Bart. Another thing to look at. Will check it out too.
