For narrowband we recommend using the focus offsets and using a Lum (or similar) filter for the actual focusing. Even at 3x3 on my 4nm filters the AF exposures were about 3 minutes a piece to get enough data for adequate focusing. I did this once to setup the offsets and haven’t looked back!
I mentioned this on SGL as something I would find useful. As it stands at the moment I don’t find offsets massively reliable and I believe that better focus is achieved using the filter being used in the imaging run.
To this end, I use 2x bin for focussing, this is fine with broadband filters, 8s per exposure. However when using narrowband 3nm filters I am using 45s exposures to get anything like a decent number of focus stars. I could increase to 3x bin, but if I do tnis I have found that the focus in luminance at 3x is a bit unreliable.
So if I do lum and Ha in the same sequence, I have to keep the same binning for all the filters. It would be great to be able to specify a different binning for different filters.
