Refocus during capture by HFR

Hi,

last night I was taking images with Ekos and I enabled the autofocus if HFR > 1.5 px. Frames look pretty well but I faced each one or two captures Ekos started to refocus. I thought I had a very low HFR value and for that reason it tried to refocus continously, so I changed the value to 2 px (without stop the capture, I don´t know if it is possible to update the value during the loop).

However the issue persisted and I faced after last autofocus, HFR value was updated to 1.0.... px instead of 2px. Is there any process that updates this value after a refocus? Is this the expected behaviour?

Finally, I had to disable this option and refocus every 30 minutes.

Thanks and regards.

I'm using 3.6.7 Stable, and I have seen this as well. I just shut that feature (refocus if HFR >x.xx).
With the incremental focus feature based on temperature and a forced refocus every 45 minutes I see no need
for that check box feature. In fact I don't see a use case for it at all.

Hi,

Glad to hear this happens to more people.

Yes, refocusing after x minutes is enough, I only wanted to know if I has a wrong configuration.

Thanks!

Yeap is broken. It used to work in the previous version, but something changed.
