The purpose of this software is two fold :
- To provide multirate focus control of any ASCOM compliant focuser
- To allow the user to configure multiple filters with reference to a predefined reference
point, therefore allowing the user to move from filter to filter once the reference
focus point is achieved.

The following is a short video demonstration of the focus manager tool. I hope the operation makes sense. If there is any confusion or something that I have not expained very well then please contact me and I will elaborate further. Rather than writing a lot of words I figured a video would be a better demonstration.
I have written a short operation manual for the software to compliment the video. This can be downloaded from :
