Hi all,

I have this recording to share with you, unfortunately no log but will post one soon.
Focusing test...
I change focus and the focuser goes wrong for some reason, then I click the run-button again and the focuser goes to where I wanted.

I use latest stable kstars/INDI.

Problem solved!
When looking at all the settings for autofocus it seems that there is some settings there that interfere when I just want to manually change the focussetting, so I'm not sure why this is happens but it does, I think the settings for autofocus should affect just autofocus but I can be wrong about that.

Hi Markku,

In 3.6.5 "AF Overscan" is applied to all focuser moves. I would guess you have it set to 100 ticks in the Mechanics tab. So when you move out it does it as a 2-stage process... firstly it moves out by 10+100 = 110 ticks from 6270 to 6380, then it moves in by 100 ticks to 6280.

If you don't want the 2-stage move then set AF Overscan to zero. You'll need to deal with focuser backlash some other way in this case, of course.

Hi John,

Thank you for the information, I'll try that tomorrow by setting overscan to 0.
I haven't seen any backlash so far but will keep an eye on it.
