This keeps all that part of the focuser system itself. Plus it works within the existing ASCOM interface.
If someone can show me how to implement temperature compensated focusing 'in the blind'...that also incorporates filter offsets...then it's not too important to me exactly how it's done.

ACP has auto-centering and a pointing model. For some of the scopes up here I don't use that. Instead I use TheSky/TPoint. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

I'm still learning about robotic focusers, but currently I don't see an easy way to incorporate temperature offsets along with filter offsets. With the ASCOM temp. compensation method...it's one, or the other, but not both.

Or am I missing something?
