John,
From the above
1. On startup the system ensures focus by focusing on Ha. Correct.
2. The next step is alignment. If you set Align to L then the L filter will be swapped in. Correct.
3. As you have Autofocus on filter change set, Focus will Autofocus on L. Incorrect - I do not want this and it does not happen.
4. Align then runs, when complete Ha is swapped back. Correct.
5. As you have Autofocus on filter change set for Ha then Focus will Autofocus. Happens but is not required.
6. Sequence starts on Ha. Correct.
I don't use offsets as the focus position is not always reproducable. I don't want or need a focus on L as it is okay for alignment without a refocus. I cannot align using Ha.
I effectively only want alignment for imaging not alignment.

I have an issue that i want to focus with my Ha filter but align using the L filter.
I have the software set to focus on a filter change and after 120 minutes.
When I use the scheduler it performs a focus run using the Ha filter and then aligns using the L filter, but because I have refocus on filter change set, it will then perform a second focus run using the Ha filter. If it fails to align it can go through the same process multiple times.
As the filter used for focusing has not changed it is not required to keep doing this but I cannot see a way of stopping it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Luke,
I don't think what you are trying to do is possible, it would require too many amps to operate the motor, that is why you have a controller inbetween. I use an Arduino Uno with a motor controller hat.

Chris,
The bit I don't understand is "wait for a satellite to cross through this field of view" because the Earth is turning and the telescope needs to track to keep the same field of view.

Chris,
Chris,
If I read your email correctly, you want to slew to an object so that you can wait for a satellite to cross the path.
I think you would still want to track under these circumstances.
The only reason I can think of to turn off tracking is to time an object crossing the field of view but maybe I am missing something.

Today I did another pull for indi and there were some additional changes which after compiling and installing the indi-qsi build is now working.
This has also fixed the kstars build.
At the moment I only have a problem with building phd2, but that is for another forum

Just to make sure I have run sudo make install for libqsi and the make still fails for indi-qsi.

Yes, libqsi is a prerequisite and it builds without issues.
I was thinking this might be a bookworm issue, but no idea really.
I know when building from source I often pick up issues.

I am not sure if these are bookworm issues or something else.

Steve,
Astro cameras are very sensitive and will need to be tested at night or a dark room.

Steve,
Use another application to run the camera and see what it does.
If it works fine then it must be some setting or fault with Kstars/Ekos.
