Temperature Coefficient - LX200 8"

Based on focus measurements from sessions S267 to S296,  a revised temperature coefficient of -143.1 steps per deg C has been estimated for my LX200 telescope normal setup (LX200 8", f/10 - operating at f7.4 , focal length 1498mm) .  This is equivalent to a focus change of 0.0122"/degC  (based on TCF-S step size of 0.000085")
