OBSERVED RESULT
When a Plate Solve is initiated, and the system detects the camera as busy, the
Plate Solve routine goes into a series of waits at 10 sec, 20 sec, 40 sec, etc
etc waiting for the camera to become unbusy. Often times (more like usually)
the camera is not busy. The system thinks the camera is busy, but there is no
apparent indication to the user.
The problem is that, when the Plate Solver starts these delays as the user
searches for why the system thinks the camera is busy, the STOP button is
grayed out! Sometimes the only solution is to quit the session, then restart.
The simple solution would seem to be to let the user STOP the process as soon
as the Plate Solve routine says the camera is busy so the user can find where
the system thinks the camera is busy before the Ekos embarks on a long wait
sequence. One example of where the system thinks the camera is busy when it is
not is the Focus module. If the camera is doing loop capture and the STOP
button is hit in the Focus module, the Plate Solve module will always say the
camera is busy. After hitting STOP when doing Focus looping, run the camera
once in a Single Shot mode. That usually clears the conflict.
