Daytime Focusing using OAG

#1

Post by Topographic »

Hi

I currently have a focus routine where I focus on a concrete electricity pole with may main camera and then with my guide camera in the OAG with its helical focuser. I do this in the afternoon prior to an evening session. However I am thinking of attaching a ZWO EAF, is there a way I can still do this using Sharpcap?

Thanks

David

Hi David,

SharpCap can certainly work with computer-controlled focuser is like the ZWO EAF - you will need to install the Ascom driver for the focuser and then look at these parts of the SharpCap manual

Hope this helps, Robin
