Hi Calberts,

Here are my settings for the Scope and the Dome.
Maybe this will help.

Your sequence ended on time constraint before that event was completed so it never ran. This is expected.

Mark, Ken

Thanks for you reactions. I wil try this this evening. Is there a simple way to calcuate how many exposure i can do in the give time or display when the time when de sequence ends in stead of remaining. And are the possibilities to force park when day time starts?

Thanks in advance
Chris

Because of a number of variables, sequence times are non-deterministic. Your best bet is to force the sequence to end at astronomical dawn. This will force the mount to park (assuming you have the option to park mount on sequence end).

This helps mast find out what for me the best combination is still.

p.s can you have a look at my suggestion how to implement the horizon in SGP. See the horizon treat
Custom horizon - in planner needed - #20 by calberts - Feature Requests - Main Sequence Software. hoop this helps

The suggestion works, but its not as is should. Suggestion for version 4.0 to get this right in kind of planning tool. Anyway thanks for the help with started and end times depending on the aumout of exposure. I created small script to cacluated the amount of exposures (Includes Flip and Focus times). I will upload this to gitlab comming week so i it can be used i will post the link here. Thanks all for your reaction
