Optimal ascom settings for a moonlight focuser?

[White Rabbit]

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I've checked the moonlight website but can't find them.

Thanks
Sandy

Hi Sandy,

Are you concerned about any settings in particular?

[White Rabbit]

Well, for some reason the focuser now 20000 increment not 10000 as before. Also I'm not getting very accurate auto focus runs with TSX. Thought I'd rule out settings before I move on to slippage.

Thanks

Do you have the standard motor option or the high-resolution model? I have only used the latter and I don't know if the Ascom settings differ between the two. In the Ascom settings window, check the half/full stepping option. If you're getting twice the increment size to what you were previously, switching to half stepping might resolve that (and technically should improve autofocus resolution).

Thanks I'll give that a try tonight.

I'm sure there's an article on their website which deals with setting up a Moonlite to work with Focusmax? IIRC it tells you how to change increments..
