Re: Using Focus Assistant
Hi,
choose the appropriate ASCOM driver for your focuser in the SharpCap 'Hardware' settings, then connect to the focuser by ticking the 'Connected' box in the focuser control area on the right. Once that is done, SharpCap will see the focuser when you try to do the focus scan and draw a graph of the focus score vs position for you. Seeing the parabola shape depends on the focus postition moving through the point of best focus during the scan.
cheers,
Robin
