Hi John,

I think one of those moves was a manual move that I did. The last one I think. Once I seen it stop at 6166 I manually moved it to the bottom of the curve. The 6166 position was the #10 sample. I didn't get it in the screen shot but it's there. If it found a solution after 9 samples why would it do the 10th and then stay there?

Thanks for taking a look. To answer your questions:
1. No, there is nothing else controlling the focuser. INDI is running on a RPi with the latest version of all drivers.
2. There is no backlash control on the focuser itself. It just drives the stepper motor to absolute locations.
3. The INDI driver is part of the 3rd Party collection I believe. I see in the log file it's "org.kde.kstars.ekos] - "MyFocuserPro2" Version: "1.0" Interface: 8 is connected.". I believe the source is here github.com/indilib/indi/tree/master/drivers/focuser

Moving the focuser in and out manually goes to the count I specify every time. I didn't seem to have an issue with the 2-pass method in the past.

I've contacted the developer of the MyFocusPro2 to see if I'm running the most up to date firmware just in case.

Thanks
Ken
