Hi,
I wanted to take some images of Betelgeuse in plan mode, but the Autofocus insisted on choosing Betelgeuse itself for focusing, which...of course didn't work. I tried many different exposure lengths, but nothing changed. Same result when doing AF outside of plan mode.
Any help for this?

Have you tried to just move Betelgeuse out of your FOV, run focus, then move back to Betelgeuse. Focus shouldn't change.

Maybe i’m wrong here, but… doesn’t the routine work regardless of how big or small the star is?
Sure, the number you see changes, but the final result should still be the best focus right?

Maybe it would have worked after longer time, but I doubt it, because Betelgeuse was so bright, the star size did not change significantly between good focus and out-of-focus-donut.
