Performing Serialize

Hi,

I am having an issue with my dome moving without my input. At times it just slews to the actual mount Az, while it is tracking a target. If I go into the logs then I find a gap of several minutes where the “Performing Serialize” command is seen. I’m sure that has anything to do with my issue - but maybe you know?? I’ve attached some logs and if you look at the timestamp around 16:35 ish you will see it seems to happen around there. I’ve had this happen several times now as well as the dome stops tracking when it hits the “Home” position while tracking a target.

Performing Serialize Happens when a sequence is loaded or you change targets. I’m not seeing anything where it appears to be slewing to the azimuth but it may be that we need to add an additional piece of logging to capture that action.

I’ve added some extra logging that will be in the next 3.0 beta if you’d like to give that a shot and report back. Beta should be out in a couple of days. It won’t fix the issue but may help track it down.

Thanks,
Jared
