All aspects of image acquisition, centring, FF autoguiding and FF autofocusing were done with Astroart9 SP2. The target field was acquired robotically starting with the mount in the parked position. Using a script AA9 slewed to the approximate image centre, then took a 5 second exposure, and auto-platesolved the image, than automatically centred the OTA and camera on the target centre. AA9 then commanded the autoguider to acquire stars, autocalibrate, and then begin guiding. AA9 then did an initial FF autofocus and repeated the autofocus after each 600sec sub exposure; this held accurate focus over the entire ~16 hours of imaging.
