During start-up routine the light barrier at the close position detects the position of the focusing lens.
After this the focusing lens will be positioned at the previous distance where the telescope was set
before switching off.
There is a second light barrier at the infinite side of the module. Both light barriers protects servo
focus unit against accidental overrun.
