This was reported fixed a month ago but it's not fixed. The problem isn't just with the mosaic jobs. The only time the scheduler behaves correctly is when it detects a change in pier side, a crossing of the meridian. I set up a job sequence with 2 objects on the rising side of the meridian, then 2 on the setting side and then 2 more on the rising side. When switching to a job on the same side of the meridian, it behaves as if it still has the guide star when in fact it's many degrees away. Switching to a job on the opposite side, it recognizes the need to recalibrate and behaves correctly.

It should be a simple fix to have it set the recalibrate flag when it detects any SLEW, not just a meridian change.

Attached is a log. I edited out a bunch of focuser commands that are irrelevant.
