Description

TO JOIN: During the sign-up process you'll be given a chance to provide a short message to the group moderator. To prevent spamming, YOU MUST INCLUDE A ONE-LINE STATEMENT OF YOUR INTEREST in this group. "Hello", "Hi", "Interested" or "Please let me join" will not work! If you do not include a statement of interest, you will be denied membership in the group. Pending members will be approved on a regular basis...not necessarily on a daily basis.

This group is dedicated to the exchange of ideas and comments concerning the function and operation of the software product FocusMax. FocusMax is a freeware program written by LARRY WEBER and STEVE BRADY for use with commercial telescope focusing devices used by amateur astronomers. FocusMax software uses a new auto focus algorithm that they developed specifically for amateur astronomers. Let's get the most out of the software and help them develop a better product by participating in this forum.

THANK YOU for your participation
