re-focus or autofocus

re-focus or autofocus was created by Chad

When i am setting up an Image Sequence Queue there are the following options for focus
if HFR > x
if delta temp > x
every x minutes

I have tried to set IF HFR > 2, but so far this number does not stay.  It is like Ekos analyzes the image and comes up with the HFR and this number 2 i put in is replaced with another number.

How is it best to get a re-focus scheduled when the HFR is greater than 2?  So far Ekos does not appear to be working like i think it should.

Also it would be nice to get a refocus on filter change. Is there a way to re-focus when the Filter Wheel goes to a new filter?  If i could get this then i would just do refocus on temprature change and filter change.

Thanks!

Chad,

The focus-on-filter-change is there, but hidden a bit.
If you look on the focus page there's a little icon on the top line shown below that brings up a filters menu.
If you check "autofocus" for the filter's row (and optionally set a focus offset) it will autofocus when you change to that filter.
