Hi Paul,
The ASA focuser should run in focusmax, but again, Windows program. I was really hoping to ditch Windows altogether, but the ASA has to run it, so I might end up transitioning back to run TSX under Windows. I'm a bit of a Mac zealot, so this hurts, sometimes I'd rather just go out and focus myself...

The ASA focuser software is a bit flaky, but it should work with Focusmax, they say it will, if anyone out there knows about it I'd be grateful to hear about their experience.

Even then this won't help if the focus shifts in the 30 mins I'm taking an exposure.

Cheers
Stuart
