It may help you
Just remember I use Newts and use my diffraction spikes to achieve good focus which works a treat. I suppose if your using a refractor you can still use my method but not as accurate ( I don’t use a software based focuser , I use a JMI autofocuser with a handcontroller and view each 20 sec sub in APT until I’m satisfied
I’m very rarely out of focus
Hope it helps in some way
Cheers

Sorry
Just set your 2600MC to Gain 0 or Highest Dynamic Range ( it’s worked for me in both Bortle 8 Sydney skies and Bortle 3 dark skies at my holiday retirement place
Good luck !!
