Auto Focus Simulation, Focus Control, Current Position Changing

Hello,

I am practicing with simulation on AF and can’t figure out why the Current Position keeps changing. The only cause I can think of is if I had temperature compensation on, which I don’t.

Thanks.

I’m not entirely sure what you mean.

You’re doing nothing and the focuser is moving? If that’s the case check the temperature compensation settings in the ASCOM driver itself.

Thanks,

So you are saying that having the Temperature compensate field un-selected in the equipment profile manager doesn’t mean anything?

Also check the actual focuser driver. I have the Starlight Instruments FocusBoss II and it has it’s own Temperature Compensation feature as well. I suspect it would probably not be affected by what the SGP settings are. I could be wrong though. Just a thought…

…will do, thanks.

It disables the Temperature Compensation in SGP…but the ASCOM driver has its own Temperature Compensation.

Thanks,
Jared

I see - I thought everything was being resolved through SGP, especially that this is a simulation. Thanks for clarifying.
