Hi Jasem,
I have two scopes that use the same Flatman, so it's probably not in the cards for me to buy two FlipFlats. So, it sounds like the confirmation dialog would be a good solution. To confirm: the way this would work is that I would program in the Alt/Az position to the calibration dialog and check a box to ask Ekos to prompt me to confirm the Flatman is in place, then, when I launch a run of flats, it would slew to the Alt/Az position, then prompt me to confirm the Flatman is in place before commencing flat exposures. Is that what you envision? If so, that would work well. I am assuming that it would not re-slew to the same Alt/Az position for subsequent flats of different filters - it would just see that it is already in the correct Alt/Az position and not move.

Thanks, Jasem. You have a really great product going here, and I do appreciate the work you and your team are doing!
