There are a few issues that I have been having with ekos that I have been working on.
Attached equipment is below:
EQ6-R pro with EQMOD
Canon EOS Rebel T6 imaging camera
ZWO ASI290mm mini guide camera
USB GPS (I am not near a time zone change for this to be an issue, KStars & Ekos are set to update from USB GPS)

The biggest issue is that the meridian flip function reports "waiting" but never actually performs the flip. I know that the function is set to wait for the current capture to complete, then perform the flip. In the attached logs, the flip is supposed to occur around 1am. I have included all modules that I am using as when I was doing some testing during the day with ccd and guiding simulator, the mount would perform a meridian flip. I have an EQ6R-pro with EQMOD. The way I have gotten around this issue is watching the failure happening, parking the mount and restarting the scheduler. The mount then slews to the correct side and continues tracking fine.

The next issue, which I do not currently have logs for is for the scheduler not starting the job process when I initialize the scheduler earlier on in the day and it is waiting for twilight. I adjusted the setting for pre-emptive shutdown to be longer than 2 hours but when the time comes for the job to start, nothing happens and the scheduler still reports "waiting for job start time".

When I open up the log directory from ekos to verify the destination, another copy of KStars is started and logging starts on that instance.
