Thanks, that clarifies it for me. So when leveraging this setting it is crucial to first measure the backlash with the same accuracy as desired for the final focus value. Is there a really good way of doing that, while not adding all other random focus measurement errors to the process?

From searching about this focuser on the net I am getting the impression that users of other platforms are taking a different approach. E.g. NINA users are setting a 100 ticks overshoot, the Celestron focuser tool using a 500 ticks overshoot and when controlling the focuser directly with SkySafari that appears to be using an overshoot in one direction as well.

Is there any consideration to implement something similar on Indi? I imagine that may be relevant for users of other focuser models as well.
