Ability to add 'Auto Focus using specific filter' into the Autorun queue.

Improve101

Hi guys,

This would really help.

I like to focus using my Ha filter specifically.

Which doesn't always coincide with 1,2,3 degree change, or hourly change, and I don't want to auto focus on every single filter change either.

The ability to add a tile into the Autorun queue, that allows 'Auto Focus using specific filter' would be so amazing.

Eg. Have an Autorun queue that looks like this:
Ha 300s x 10
Oiii 300s x 10
EAF with Ha
Sii 300s x 10

And Gain guys, we also need Gain added to the autorun tiles if possible so we can shoot the R G B stars at Gain 0, but H O S at Gain 100. Currently this is a manual task, and having to stay awake to wait just to switch the Gain manually isnt much fun.

Those things would really help improve the Autorun experience.

I completely agree with adding gain into autorun.
I'm just curious why would you use specificaly Ha filter for autofocus. Is it for reducing seeing conditions with Ha filter and getting focus as precise as possible? In truly apocromatic or reflection system with parfocal filters this could be feasible.

astrosatch Because i use Ha as my Lum, it's the only filter focus that's important to me, the others can be slightly off for what i do. So whilst the filters are parfocal on paper there are slight differences, so i don't want to waste time focusing every filter when all i really care about is the Ha. Would be a great help.
