Yesterday I had a close look on the guide module working, when slewing from one variable star to the next. I think the issue is that guiding is not searching for a guide star when it resumes its work.
When the first picture of the new area is coming in, the green square stays where it was, when guiding the variable star before. In most cases there is no star in the green square then. But in order to serach for a new guide star the module stays there and guides on whatever I don't know. After a while the guiding module reports: "Delta RMS threshold value exceeded. Searching for guide star." Within some millis the green square is locked on a suitable guide star and everything works fine ........ until the next variable. Would be nice if this could be fixed.
I hope my English is good enough to understand what I mean.
Greetings, Jörg!
