Hi all, new FC3 owner here.

Wondering what initials settings are generally recommended for NINA and Hocus Focus for the FC3?
Autofocus step size = ?
Backlash IN/OUT = ? / ?
Autofocus initial offset steps = ?

Thanks very much!

The autofocus step size is depending on focal length and camera used so no real "one-size-fits-all" in my understanding.
I have usually started at 100, done an autofocus run and watched the curve. If there are too many steps needed, you can try to increase the step-size.

In my case, I noticed a significant improvement from going from 80 to 100 for example.
