Last night I was imaging an HOS sequence of NGC7000, starting with 100 Halpha frames. Meridian flip occurred after frame 87. After completing the flip, the next image was correctly saved with frame number 88, but the Capture module restarted the sequence from the beginning. As a result, not 100 Halpha exposures were taken, but 187. Has someone else seen this as well? This is with the source build from August 7.

This should have been image 88 out of 100.


Here the complete log. Apologies, there is a lot of irrelevant debug information. Just search for the time stamp above, that will take you to the right place.

Jo, all,

Last night guiding wasn’t resumed after the meridian flip (KStars nightly of two days ago) but once manually restarted the frame count continued where it left off before the flip.


Clear skies, Wouter
