The stars are from 9 frames. The background is from 311 frames. A total of 3 nights testing the autofocuser. In the orange zone, shooting without filters doesn't make much sense; two additional nights provided only a slight improvement.

Autofocus test. Unsuccessful, one-third of the frames went straight to the trash, automation didn't work out. Already redid it. Without filters from the orange zone—just for testing, and to compare as well. Stars—stack of 7 frames, background 149.
