Abstract
A closed-loop system for auto-focusing in photography is used to capture better images of remote objects by generating and executing auto-focusing corrections in real time. The system includes an image collecting device, a focuser, a beam selector, an imaging camera, a second camera, and a computing unit. The image capturing device is typically a telescope that is used to capture the image of the remote object. The beam selector is used to split the captured image between the imager camera and the second camera. The imager camera is used to progressively create the image of a target. The second camera is used to create images of a reference object at regular intervals. The images of the reference object are analyzed by the computing unit and are used to generate auto-focusing corrections by the computing unit. Those corrections are then executed by the focuser.
