Yep. The FSQ is a blessing and a curse. I've struggled with mine. Now I have the temperature compensation working it refocuses automatically while I'm imaging. I can leave the scope out and go to bed. The FWHM varies maybe +/- 0.1 which is within a range I can live with. I sample the temperature every 10s and it adjusts steps in near real time. So the focuser moves while I'm imaging. It works really well. It's set and forget now.
