Custom Focuser Control with NINA

1 reply43 views

I am wondering whether is it possible at all to control an EAF in NINA so that after a certain amount of time has passed NINA stops acquisition, move the focuser by a certain incremental amount (is there a way to specify direction here?) and then resume the acquisition and repeat until the acquisition is done (and that means it needs also to flip if needed and park the mount, possibly refocusing after the flip). More to the point, can NINA be instructed to reverse direction of the focuser movement depending which side of the pier the telescope is on?

Thanks

I suspect it would be doable with a plug-in that makes the needed commands available in the list for the focusing device, other plug-ins do just that.
