Bug ID: 452795
Summary: Wish: ability to manually override autofocus algorithm
Product: kstars
Version: 3.5.8
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
The ekos autofocus routine sometimes struggles: it may include points far
enough from critical focus that the HFR calculation goes wrong and throws off
the best fit curve,. Also atmospheric conditions like wisps of cloud can
sometimes interfere with the success of the routine. Often in cases where the
algorithm struggles it's perfectly obvious after the first pass to a human
operator where the true minimum of the focal curve is, or you know that it was
perfectly well focused for the last sub but it's just doing a time-based focus
check and getting confused.
It would be fantastic if the ekos autofocus tab had a simple means of selecting
the critical focus step, either by clicking on the curve or by entering the
step number in a text entry box, and a button to override the algorithm, in
effect to say "I'm giving you the true focal position, go to that position
immediately and mark the autofocus job as complete". On marking focus as
complete in this way a scheduled job would then move on to its next step.
