Automatic Refocus Triggers ADC Alignment

#1

Post by Suby81 »

Hello Robin,

Last night, using the latest stable 64bit version of Sharpcap, I:

- Used a Contrast (Edge) Detection focus assistant to focus, using a Gemini focuser.
- Used the ADC Alignment tool to properly align the ADC

And then tried to perform an Automatic Refocus but what that did was lunching the ADC Alignment tool. I closed it, and re-tried but with no success.
There was no way to obtain an automatic refocus.

Best Regards,
Suby

Hi,

what method are you using in the final step to launch the refocus? I have tried to get this to happen both in 4.1 and 4.2 and can't see the problem - a refocus seems to bring up the correct focus tool, even if ADC is still open at the time (or if I have just closed it). There must be something subtle going on in your situation that we will need to pin down.

cheers,

Robin
