Hy,
Thanks a lot! Sounds like that would be perfect for my needs!
Following up on my previous use-case: there is another case (beside the Mira stars - a list of 30-ish stars for the moment): at least as often, I take long time series of one single variable star. To do this, I need the scope to plate-solve and update the CRVAL keywords at least every 30 mins, otherwise the processing will be problematic (CRVAL keywords are off becuse of field rotation and some odd drift). THis menas that I can not have one single job with say, 450 images, but need to split that into several 30 mins jobs. And when a job is "repeated" in the scheduler, it seems not to do alignment, just guiding and capturing. So again, I need a long list of jobs, even though they are all identical. Again, at times I wish to use a manually set starting point, and it needs to work for the whole series.
So now, after the next update (?) I can do this again! Thanks!!

Derek,
Yes 
This is list of mainly MIra stars, part of a program set up by the Swedish amateur astronomers some years ago, that I try to contribute to every week

Hi!
Yes, those constraints are met but not another, somewhat important one: clouds. I am in a situation where it is overcast, but predictions are that it will be clear in let's say 2 hours. I do not want to stay awake and ruin next days work. So I want to set the queue to start in 2 hours, and if there are some clouds left, that will simply be errors and those are handled and that particular job is either aborted or restarted. This has worked very nicely a lot of times in the past.
It could also be other predictable disturbances, like light and a party in my neighbours garden and similar stuff. It would not make imaging impossible but ruin the images.

So, I have a scheduler sequence with 30 jobs, see attached screenshot.
I used to be able to schedule this to start in let's say 2 hours by scheduling the first job. But now, after upgrade, when I do that, it simply skips the first job and tries to run the second. That is NOT what I want. I want the whole queue executed in 2 hrs. Is there a way to do that now, without editing EACH job?

Hi!
I'm trying to schdule a schedule wit 30 jobs to start in an hour - but it seems the Greedy setting is on, so the job queue starts immediately, skipping the first job where I've set the starting point. But I can't find the setting - where is it? Where can I move from Greedy to Standard schduler function?
Stellarmate 1.7.8

Hi!
I promised to share my limits. The attached image is a photo of the HC.
I'm running Gemini 2 level 4 (have not done the more complicated upgrade since the mount works flawlessly as is. And meridian flips have so far not been a problem.

Hi!
To the best of my knowledge (due to a heavy storm, I can not access my mount for the moment, it is all packed down), I do not have the flip command. I run Gemini level 4, and as far as I understand, the flip command was introduced in level 5 - correct? So which version of Gemini do you run, Juanjo?
I'll check my GoTo limits when getting the mount up again.
Best,
Magnus

Hi James!
I was not aware of the feature of the flip command. Which version of the Gemini controller are you talking about here? And can you clarify for me the added value of this flip command as opposed to the normal goto (flipping if within the "flip zone")?
