I created the github pull request for the absolute position.

The temperature information would be nice to have as well. It is slightly more complex, though:

- Thinking of determining temperature correction coefficients etc, I agree that it probably would be most useful to record the temperature at the time of the autofocus, not the current temperature. Well or actually, both should ideally be recorded in the FITS header.
- A temperature measurement could be provided by the driver of the focuser (in which temperature is not a standard property) or potentially by the driver of some weather device (in which case it might in principle be of interest to record also e.g. wind direction and speed).

I think someone with a better overview than me would need to code this.

Cheers,

Joachim
