How do I Manually focus my ASCOM focuser

#1

Post by nm303 »

Hi,

My Pegasus focus cube connects OK and it think the autofocus routine would work (the Scan in/out buttons seem to work). I cannot for the life of me see any buttons for my manually moving the focuser. The manual mentioned them being under camera controls but they are not.

Does anyone know where they are?

Thanks and Clear Skies

Hi,

The manual focus controls will be located in a section of the controls on the right-hand side headed 'scope controls'. You may need to expand this section. If the section is not present in the controls of the right then you may need to configure SharpCap to use your focuser in the hardware page of the settings.

Please see the documentation for more information – https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/3.2/#ASCOM% ... %20Control

Cheers, Robin
