Ekos:capture module - capture flats at the same focus as lights

Hi,

I tried to capture flats for SII filter (flat focus position in focuser is set in filterwheel settings (see below), my focuser position was set to 0 (absolute position and the focuser is a NightCrawler)
 

I thought that as the position of focus is set, focuser will move to that position and then capture flat will start.
 

But when i launch the sequence, the focuser didn't move to the position and images are taken immediately in order to reach the ADU value I've set for capture.

Do i miss something ?
NB: I'm using last nightly build (ubuntu 20.04)

Clear skies

Continuing to speaking with myself, i've just test this feature with simulator (CCD and focuser) and it works as expected.

@Jasem,
Wonder why it doesn't work with my focuser (Moonlight nightcrawler) ?
