Mike created a new topic ' Scheduler and Re-Planning After Target Sets' in the forum. 3 years ago

Hi,

I've started to realize just how valuable the scheduler can be and am trying to understand how to better use it. Here's a situation I'm trying to fix:

  • I've created a list of targets to image over the next few (~6) months
  • I've set each target to run a 2-hour sequence repeated for 10 runs
  • I've selected the 'Sort jobs by Altitude and Priority' option in settings/options
  • Aborted job management is set to 'Immediate'
  • Naturally, each target cannot finish its tasking in a single night
  • When I press start, the first target (say, M1) starts and runs until it hits an altitude constraint
  • After hitting the altitude constraint, the mount sits and waits rather than proceeding to a new target that has risen (e.g., M65)

Here's the crux of the issue: Is there a way to have the scheduler move to a second target after the first target has set, even if the first target has not completed the whole job?

If possible, I'd prefer to avoid having to manually update my sequences every night based on what's up. I think 'Aborted Job Management' might have a role to play, but there may be a nuance that I am missing.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
