It's BackyardNIKON, not Nikonbackyard.  It's a matter of brand recognition and getting the name right is important to me. Nothing personal, but I will call it out each time for consistency.

There is no auto-focus routine in BackyardNIKON.  The preomium version has the ability to connect to your focuser via ASCOM, and it will allow you to control it while you watch the focus metric (FWHM or HFD).

Regards,

ZWO calls their focuser an "Electronic Automatic Focuser", however that is a poor name since there is nothing automatic about it. The focuser does not automatically adjust the focuser to maintain critical focus during use. This requires an application to measure and re-adjust focus between images. BYE and BYN do not have this capability.
