A better method to protect against loosing a guide star is to simply increase the box size. The guiding will try to pursue the lost guiding star but it usually go downhill from there.

What about the cloud block the view of the guiding star for, let's say, 5 min ?

In this case the guiding aborts and you'd have to restart it later.

Actually, what I want is a feature to make this automatically. When the star is blocked by the cloud ,ekos move the telescope in some sort of average speed of previous guiding speed or presume speed, at the same time ,search for a star , if found ,start guiding automatically.

MaxIm DL and PHD2 can do this .
