Hi,
I do not know if already is present this keyword, boyu I see that software tolls like ASTAP is able to read thes value and display it in the Inspection tab.
I think that have this value could be very usefully.
Is possibile add this info into the FITS header or if it is already present, where can i enable it in Ekos to be saved?
Regards

This (and focuser temperature as well if present) is saved to the FITS file if you have correct focuser configured for snooping in your camera settings in INDI panel, like this:

FOCUSPOS= 3573 / Focus position in steps
FOCUSTEM= -1.790E+00 / Focuser temperature in degrees C
