I never get the Vcurve while running Focus Assistant

I have been using Sharpcap's focus assistant tools for a couple of months. I have never seen the v-curve.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Focus Assistance Struggles

I m really struggling with the focus assistance. I never get it to display the curve or have it return to the best focus after the run.

Any hints? I have rad the manual dozens of times.

Thanks in Advance

Smart Distogram - No Stars to Align

When I use the smart histogram to set my gain and exposure it is always too dark for any stacking program to align with stars.

To be honest, even when I try to do it myself I struggle to get enough stars.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong.
