Tim Lewis created a new topic ' Flat automation' in the forum. 4 years ago

Hi Folks,
I am new coming to Ekos/Kstars, having been using SGP for a while. I am trying to develop my approach to flats in Ekos. I’m aware of the flat automation facilities, and have a question:

— How do I automate a slew to altitude 0, azimuth 90 prior to starting my flats sequence? I’m aware of the option to slew to a particular Alt/Az as part of each flat run, but I only need this slew once before I take all of my flats through each filter. Also, I need the sequence to pause while I set the flatman onto the OTA. Is there such a thing as a saved location that I can use for slewing to this ‘pointing at the zenith’ position?

Of course I welcome any advice on a ‘better way’ to approach this!

Thanks!
