Sequence Generator Pro vs Maxim for focusing

Hi guys,

Just getting into mono DS imaging with my 12.5" f/5 scope and new 174mm mono cooled camera. Have been imaging for many years mono planetary and OSC Deep sky, but now the mono imaging (and focusing!) games begin!

One of the issues I have with my truss tube break down for transport which means that the rotating upper cage gets removed and re-attached every time I do my imaging - so there is possible some focus / collimation shift does occur - thus a focusing profile may have to be redone (aka. FocuMax) every time.

Just wondering what experiences others have had with SGP in terms of their claimed live and continuous focusing feature vs Maxim Pro 5 and FocusMax?

Ideally looking to automate my capturers: goal is that once I get in the field and polar align and frame my shot, to then capture my LRGB images over the space of the night with intermediate focus checks using the software based on changes in temperature, filters and object elevation etc.

Any advice that can be offered appreciated.

Clear skies,

John K.
