Draft: Focus Advisor Phase 4
The goals of Focus Advisor Phase 4 are:
- Make Focus Advisor easier to use for the newbie. So less options, more a 1-click just-do-it experience.
- Find approx focus from anywhere - so the user doesn't have to start from near focus.
- Calculate backlash automatically without the user having to work it out for themselves.
- Calculate step size automatically. This has always been a tricky parameter to default and newbies struggle with it.
- Run Autofocus and use the results to optimise parameters.
Progress:
- Break out Focus Advisor code from Focus to a separate FocusAdvisor class - done.
- FindStars algorithm - done.
- Pre-Autofocus algorithm to estimate backlash and step size - done.
- Autofocus analysis also and capability to change params and rerun - done.
- Glue everything together - in progress.
- Test on sims - in progress.
- Test IRL - not started.
