Hi there,
I performed some tests of the Ekos automatic meridian flip in the situation of a mulitiple target session with the scheduler.
Everything woks fine when all steps (Track, Focus, Align, Guide) are requested, that is the post-flip procedure is clearly started (re-alignement, and guider recalibration) as stated in the log and the capture sequence is properly resumed. However, when the autofocus step is not requested for the current target when the meridian flip occurs, the post flip procedure is not triggered and the capture sequence is resumed before the mount flip has finished. The post flip procedure is not started at all.
I was able to reproduce the bug in both real devices (eqmod mount) connected to a remote raspberrypi and using indi the simulator device on a local indi server.
I am using ekos VM with the latest KDE update and latest indi and kstars from ppa.
Below are the detailed informations of my setup:
Linux ekos-vm 4.4.0-28-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 24 10:09:13 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
