Auto Focus Routine - Limitation Focus Pt?

Sequence Generator Auto Focus
1

Dear all,

first of all I enjoy working with SGP since a couple of years and it’s the “best since sliced bread” for me. Now I chanced to a new OTA and the in-built Takahashi focuser has to move beyond 100.000 points to achieve perfect focus. As usual I wanted to save the numbers to my filter settings as starting point for the next session.
There is no way to convince SGP to accept values for the focus pt greater than 100.000. I tried to put in the values by hand - again, confirming my settings with “OK” didn’t make a difference - 100.000 seems to be the limit. I can surely live with that but I wonder: bug or feature?
I searched the forum for this issue but could not find any results - my apologies if this has already been discussed.
Anyway, thanks for this great piece of software,
best wishes,
Matt

This needs adjusting in the focuser driver.

SGP reads the maximum focus position from the focuser driver. I’ve just tried it using the simulator and if the limit is set in the driver to 250000 then that’s what SGP uses.

Chris, thanks for your reply, I’ll check my settings.

Best wishes,
