Automating focus
Ok, I am going to automate my focus on my scopes. I am planning on using robfocus units on both the Tak and the feathertouch focusors. Software is focus max and maxim. I plan on using ACP for automation.
My questions so far are these.
1. Do I need ACP before I can autofocus? Am I right in thinking that maxim combined with focus max can automate focus without my imput?
2. Do I need ACP immediately to get focus to swing onto a GV2 star and then back to the imaging target? I think this is a yes but wanted to know what others think.
3. What autofocus systems do other use? This seems the best system and I am trying to take the advice of Mark, who has been 100% correct with other automation systems in the past.
The main idea is that I want to be able to set this up and then not have to check focus every hour myself. Its all part of the automation process and leading to the end point. Data collection uninterrupted by SNAFU.
