I know that there are already some forum posts mentioning this, but I wanted to renew this request.
I have a 9.25" SCT that I use in multiple imaging configurations (from f2 to f25). This means that in order to change between configurations, I have to run the focuser to its max step count multiple times, resetting the count each time. This is very inconvenient and could possibly result in miscalculating the physical focuser position (causing damage to either the tube or the focus motor).
Could we please get an update that allows for an increase in the max step count? I imagine that this could either be done by increasing the allowed value, or by adding a "steps per count" option, which would effectively introduce a multiplier to the total range.
I've also seen this mentioned multiple times on astrophotography forums like Cloudy Nights, if this update could be made, I'm sure it would benefit all SCT users greatly.
Thanks.
Mike
