Nested "Stop At" - figured out a solution
Posted: Wed Sep 03, 2025 6:13 pm
I was attempting to use the nested stop at to keep my focuser position from getting out of whack if I hit 2 degrees before meridian and my focuser routine was just starting or ending and the focuser is at one end of the V curve. This is the only occasion I need to do this type of check.
What I did was save the focuser position just before I start my focuser routine and then save it after also. When I meridian flip I focus again right after the flip but before I do I restore the focuser position to the saved position. If I hit 2 degrees on the end of the V curve I still have the starting position saved so when I flip I have a good focuser position to begin the focus routine.
