Best Focusing Technique?

What’s the best focusing technique? I just got a 300D and am curious to see what this group says. I have a Kendrick Kwik Focus (Hartmann mask) which works great for other applications. Is a Series IV Stiletto a better option?

Thanks,
Jason

One option - The newest release of ImagesPlus includes a FMHW measurement to very acurately focuson a star. This along with a parallel/USB connection to the camera can get your really close.

Good luck

Hi Jason,

To me the best focusing technique is the Diffraction Method. You make a cross you install in front of your OTA. All my images have been taken with this method.

You can see my web page about that at :

Best Regards,
