Is anyone using the redcat 51 with a 585mc sensor using a zwo Eaf  with the pro Astro gear Eaf holder , if so so what step size are you using for autofocus?.

I have an RC51 with a 183 MC camera.  I left the EAF at default values for ASIAIR+.  All works fine.  Important to have RC51 at preliminary focus before installing the EAF.  Hope this helps.

Likewise! Set to default.

I’m using a step size of 50 and get a nice curve fit from it. This is via NINA. I’m also overshooting by 250 steps and have no issues with backlash. That should be a good starting point at least.
