Hello
i m trying for the first time Voyager software .
I m using an ASI cam and canon lens with the Astromechanics EOS Adapter which permit remote focusing .
This focuser is not an absolute one it seems, it always start at 5000 steps
Is the autofocus routine in Voyager are ok for this sort of focuser ? Im using right now EKOS and i can do autofocus with it. I just roughfly make the first focus by hand and after autofocus work .
Is there anybody using this Astromechanics focuser ?
I use this adapter too and I go very well with Voyager. I use it with ASI2600mm / mc on Canon EF 200mm / 2.0, Sigma 105mm / 1.4 and Sigma 40mm / 1.4. I make the sequences using a script. At the beginning of the script I test the focus of the configured optics and if it falls within these 3 I make a goto of the ascom focuser at 20,000, which is well beyond infinity. In this way I set the value of 20,000 as an infinite full scale. Right after that I do a 5 second delay and then a goto at 19,270 which is about focus. I have seen that these values are compatible with all my lenses. At this point I proceed with the focus, both on the star or in the local field and it works very well. Below is an excerpt from my script.
it is a nice idea to foce the focuser to the infinite , that what i m doing manually when installing my setup so i ve just to go inward to find the rough focus point .
