Hello,

I am having a very difficult time getting my OIII filter to auto focus with the Micro Touch Auto Focus on a C11 with Hyperstar .

Trying to use the LUM filter as the main filter and then entering the offsets for OIII to focus with is cumbersome because there is no filter wheel with Hyperstar.
What I have been doing is slowly manually focusing the OIII filter as best I can in order to get it close and then letting the auto focus run a couple of times to narrow it down. However it never gets a sharp focus.unless I tweek it some more afterwards. I have tried different step sizes and still have not found one that will give me the V shape. The strange thing is that I do not seem to have this problem when I am using my ED102 with Moonlight Focuser in SGP, it's only happening with the C11, Microtouch and Hyperstar.

My current settings have been around 150 for Coarse Step and anywhere from 5 to 30 for Fine Step.

Do any of you have any ideas or thoughts that could help me a little here? It's depressing to work all night and find that your out of focus the next morning.
