One think I am trying to understand now that manually triggered Autofocusing is working great - now that I know focus decreases by 21 steps per degree temperature change - how to invoke temperature based focus compensation between manually triiggered AutoFocus runs.

I tried to invoke this with every degree temperature change - but haven't see focus shift on my Luminance filter which I use to auto focus on at the start of each nights imaging run.

Does temperature based focus compensation only get triggered when a plan is active?

Edit - I just found my likely culprit going through the manual - I leave Auto Focus Aid open all night - howvere the APT manual states "Note that temperature compensations will not be applied when Focusing Aid, Auto Focus Aid or Bahtinov Aid are open."

That caught me by surprise!
