Last night I went back to the default setting of having smart focus enabled. A couple times when smart focus took over and it kept adding exposures on top of the 7 I had set, the stars were so far out of focus that none of them were being detected, yet smart focus would keep going another 300 steps out of focus for another exposure. Each time that happened I canceled the auto focus run after 3-4 exposures that SGP didn't detect any stars. How many times will smart focus add an exposure when the previous didn't have any stars detected?
Even though SGP wasn't detecting any stars, I was still seeing a lot of them that I thought should've been detected. Is there a setting that will allow SGP to use those stars that were more out of focus?
