The quickest way to focus is to image using a medium bright star. Most CCD software supports a convenient focus mode providing peak brightness and/or image size measurements. A quick succession of images will converge quickly on perfect focus. Using RoboFocus, you can focus directly on the moon or planets; however, it is faster to use a nearby star.
