I need to buckle down and live in my new world of technology.

It never would have occurred to me to run an autofocus routine

unattended. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten it to work right, even when
I’m watching it. It’s pilot error — I don’t know how to set my FWHM
correctly, etc.

Wow.

OK. I’m adding it to the “to learn” list.
