Welcoem to the FSQ club Andrew. I have a venerable but excellent FSQ. Probably the earliest one in Australia S/N 18. I love it. Tak is addictive stuff. Be prepared. Are you going to get a Tak mount? I have an EM-200. It is probably only bettered by a larger Tak mount or Paramount for performance but is still portable.
I agree with all Jase has offered WRT Robofocus. Its a valuable tool. I didn't use that pissy bracket they send with the kit. I made one out of a piece of aluminium bar. I just can't imagine there wouldn't be some tortional play in their bracket. Others may disagree and I may not need the extra strength of mine but I sleep better knowing it can't be an issue.
I have the small step value set to one. I used to set it to 4 but I found with the backlash in the gears the perfect focus point was often jumped over between steps.
I know Jase has got FocusMax working well and I plan to do the same soon. Software Bisque claim to have a similar system working with CCD Soft that I will try. FocusMax is not as easy for me as I don't have MaximDL.
Keep us informed of developments!
