Scheduler and pause was created by Teseo

Hi, Is it possible to add a break between one job and another in scheduler?
I capture images of possible asteroids ( neocp ) and also to calculate the orbits of known asteroids, many times I have to take a series of images separated by a pause of a few minutes (40 images, 10 minute pause, another 40 images etc..)

Thank you.

Why not adding in the scheduler a fake sequence 1s exposure and 599s delay?
It's not elegant nor smart but should do the work.

Hi Ferrante, yes this is the system.
But I should take two shots because the first shot doesn't read the delay, (I wrote about this in an old message).
For this reason I wrote a personal patch (I compile kstars from source).
I added a new tab in the Ekos options with an option that must be activated to have the delay also on the first shot, but it has a problem: it can only be used for what I need, that is, to add the delay to the first shot, because if used with normal capture from the second shot doubles the set delay :)
I'm not an super expert programmer in life I drive ambulances, but he does what I want well.

Sorry for my poor English I translated from google.

I fixed some code and now it also works for set just delay in capturing shots after the first.
