I'm happy to do that if required but the tricky thing is that I can't touch the OTA because it makes the guiding stop. What's the process with stopping & starting PHD2? Do you leave it struggling on, or do you pause it and start it again when you've finished adjusting focus? Does it matter if it chooses a different guide star?
I would stop the guiding, slew to a nearby bright star, put on the focusing mask, focus, slew back to what I am imaging, start guiding again and leave it for another hour or two.
