Created attachment 109478 [details] Screen dump showing settings I need to focus using a luminance filter but image using a Hydrogen Alpha filter. This is because I have never been able to get focusing working through the Hydrogen Alpha filter because of the noise levels. When I set this up and it focuses between images it should be using the Luminance filter but it never works. Instead each image gets more and more out of focus. Because the image does not get reflected in the focus modeule it is not obvious what is happening. It appears from my testing that it must be using the Hydrogen Alpha filter instead and focusing on noise.
This is NOT the correct settings for the case you described. Please read documentation here: https://stellarmate.com/support/ekos/capture.html For your case, you need to set the LOCKED filter of H to L. I found other issues as well that should be fixed in 2.9.0
Git commit 38fc2326f33e37d11d324741f34c93d985802b0f by Jasem Mutlaq. Committed on 22/12/2017 at 10:06. Pushed by mutlaqja into branch 'master'. Remove lock policy from filter manager and let focus module handle it as it reduces complexity and fixes some corner issues.

Jasem, Thanks for your patience, my interpretation was the ‘L’ meant locked and now I understand how it works and it is working.
