Test Notes

Equipment: AP 130 F/6 on AP 600 GoTo mount, ST-10 and CFW8.

Measurements were made using Robo-Focus operating in the CCDSoft5 @Focus mode.

@Focus settings were 10 samples with 2 averaging.
    RoboFocus settings were 4 steps for large and 1 step for small.   Backlash at 0.

Robo-Focus step size is aprox 0.82 mils of travel for the AP focuser with the settings:
    Backlash Comp = 10
    Motor Duty Cycle = 0
    Microstep Pause = 5
    StepSize = 4

A focus run took just under 7 mins using a small 300 x 200 window with 1x1 binning. 

 

Here's how the Robo-Focus is mounted on the AP130 F/6:
