I agree completely Doug, if robofocus is that cheap, FocusMAX is free, there is the simplest solution to beating any focus drift.... You most definitely understand the need too.. From what I've read, the FSQ106 with the reducer is a focus shift nightmare... I'm kind of happy I went for the TMB 80/480 in that respect... Sure the field is not flat like an FSQ, but its minus that major pain in the backside...
It does appear a pain but with focusmax and robofocus the job is a real easy task. Pause image collection push one button an hey presto perfect focus. Resume imaging. Temp changes mor than 1 degree benifit from a focus reset.

The FSQ does drift quite abit with focus but to be honest the scope really performs at it's best at F5, 530mm witha huge image circle, no vignetting and a flat at field. I love it.
