BTW my setup is
GSO 8RC (Ritchie-Chretien, 95mm central obstruction)
Moonlite CS2 with highres stepper and mini v2 controller
Starlight Xpress SX-AO-LF active optics
SX Slim Off axis guider
SX Lodestar x2
SX USB Filter wheel
SBIG ST-8300M
Celestron CGEM
So I have been keeping the Disable Smart Focus checked, and actually only tried it out for the first time on the 14th-15th. I worked once, and then it pushed it too far out of focus. For last night, I tried it again and kept it on all night, and it seemed to have worked quite well even with the many hot column erroneous data points.
I've uploaded the entire nights AFPacks (minus those which I canceled the autofocus routine) here (2016_09_17_AFPacks.zip):

And here is the nights logs:

Thanks for your help on this one!
Cheers,
