Thanks for all the info guys, appreciate it.
I think I will stick with MaximDL to get started and progress from there. Have been reading all the on-line tutorials about FocusMax and will have a go tonight with generating some VCurves.
Just 2 more questions:
1. How good is FocusMax and Maxim DL in focusing on faint stars? I notice that the proper procedure is to slew to a 4-6 magnitude star, focus, and then slew back to the object being imaged. I do not have the ability to SLEW with my mount and will need to rely on the stars within the filed I am imaging.
2. In the space of an evening of LRGB imaging (say 3-5 hours), I was hoping to refocus every during every filter change and every 30 minutes or so within each filter. I don't see MaximDL being able to do that I unless I write a specific script for this in the AUTOSAVE SCRIPT column area. No sure how to do this! Alternatively, I can simply set up the LRGB imaging runs with 30 minute and filter change slots, and simply press FOCUS on FOCUSMAX manually to check focus and then continue to the next slot. Does this sound correct?
Clear skies,
John K.
