I cannot find any hint in the log file that the scheduler tried a shutdown. It seems like all conditions that lead to a shutdown are not met:
Preemptive shutdown is selected and next observation time > preemptiveShutdownTime *3600
next observation time > leadTime * 60 & park mount is checked
next observation time > leadTime * 60
In all three cases there should be a log entry on INFO level. The last case is a "catch all" which does not trigger anything, but it will also create a log entry.
Currently, I have only one possible explanation. Could you please check the lead time option value under Ekos | Scheduler?
Last question: the scheduler stops at 06:43:18. This is almost exactly 1h after the twilight limit. Did you stop it manually?
Hi Steve,
I'm sorry, but I cannot find an explanation why this happened. This check is executed once a second by the scheduler and obviously, it never evaluates to true:
// #4 Check if we're not at dawn - dawn is still next event before dusk, and early dawn is past
if (currentJob->getEnforceTwilight() && ((Dawn < Dusk && preDawnDateTime < now) || (Dusk < Dawn))){
// If either mount or dome are not parked, we shutdown if we approach dawn
if (isMountParked() == false || (parkDomeCheck->isEnabled() && isDomeParked() == false))
But to be honest, I have no clue why it doesn't become true as soon as dawn is reached.
