Work-a-round: complete stop indi and exit Kstars. Relaunch Kstars, reload schedule and click play.
Last night using the scheduler, something happened and it needed to be stopped. The schedule file and sequence where saved.
The schedule would not resume properly though providing the error:
- Proceeding directly to capture stage because only calibration frames are pending. (there were no calibration frames in the sequence, only lights. It seemed due to this error, focusing could not be reinitiated, and guiding was ignored.)
Doing a test right now, manually setting a time to simulate capturing M81, this is repeatable
1. Create the sequence, and schedule, to repeat until some time in the future - 5am next day as an example. Save the sequence and schedule.
2. set time to a valid period for the target
3. Start scheduler - all good
4. Stop schedule, and reset
5. restart scheduler and it will stop immediately
6. Stop indi
7. exit Kstars
8. Relaunch indi
9. load the sechedule
10. click play
11. all good.
Is there anything else needed to test this? Although repeatable, in case it is needed, I am working on logs this evening to attach.
