Scheduler job constraint to stop and go to next

Hello, i am new to setting up the scheduler.  So i have a question about stopping a job.

I have a trees to the west.  So if i start tracking something in the east and follow it to the west i can tell the scheduler to start if the object is above an altitude of X degrees.

How do i tell it to stop at Y degrees on the west so i am not taking pictures of trees?

Then after stopping go to the next job in the scheduler.

Thanks!

I would think the easiest way is to setup an artificial horizon. In the scheduler you can tell EKOS to stop the job once it is below the horizon, then it will move to the next job. There was a post a while ago on how to do this... I haven't tried it yet, but should work.

OH yes i had not noticed that check box. Let me go read about how to use it.

OH yes... it is like when i made a picture for my copy of Stellarium.  I used a fish eye lens and took a picture.  Then it appears in kstars i can draw boundries around the picture to make the horizon so the telescope does not go into those areas.

Thanks for the response!  I will try this out!
