Bug ID: 478270
   Summary: 3.6.8 Stable:  FlipFlat in Optical Train Crashes
KStars in Flat Sequence
Classification: Applications
   Product: kstars
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: crash
  Priority: NOR
 Component: general
  Assignee: mutla...@ikarustech.com

Summary
When FlipFlat is selected in the Optical Train for both dust cap and light
panel, any attempt to generate a flat hangs KStars immediately after the "Turn
light box light on..." status message. Happens both while running a sequence
job or attempting a manual preview.  The progress indicator in the lower right
of the Capture Module says "Preparing..." I get the "force quit" dialog from
Ubuntu after a short time. Curiously, the log warns about "Always Reset
Sequence" enabled, but it is not enabled. I have a FlipFlat and have the
optical train set correctly. If I remove the FlipFlat from the optical train
config and close the cover and turn on the light manually, the sequence runs
fine.

[kstars] [Bug 477922] Feature Request: Pause Guiding when Capturing Flats Sequence

I should mention that the guider in this scenario is an OAG - which is why PHD2
complains.

Bug ID: 477922
   Summary: Feature Request:  Pause Guiding when Capturing Flats
Sequence
Classification: Applications
   Product: kstars
   Version: 3.6.7
  Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: NOR
 Component: general
  Assignee: mutla...@ikarustech.com
  Reporter: airbo...@me.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Conditions:  Running a capture sequence that includes flat or dark images with
an automated cap / light panel.  I use a FlipFlat.

Issue:  When capturing an image sequence that includes flats with an INDI light
cap connected, the guider (PHD2) will start it's fail logic because it can't
guide anymore.

Request:  The Focus Module pauses guiding when it performs it's tasking.  The
Capture Module should do the same when it's generating flat or dark images
(cap/light closed).

[kstars] [Bug 477920] New: Feature Request: Light/Cap Check in Focus and Align Modules

2023-12-02 Thread airbourn
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477920

Bug ID: 477920
   Summary: Feature Request:  Light/Cap Check in Focus and Align
Modules
Classification: Applications
   Product: kstars
   Version: 3.6.7
  Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: NOR
 Component: general
  Assignee: mutla...@ikarustech.com
  Reporter: airbo...@me.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Conditions:  Ekos with an INDI dust cap and/or light panel connected.

Issue:  Focus and Align Modules fail when dust cap or light panel are
closed/on.  This can happen when the Greedy Scheduler aborts a job in favor of
another higher-priority job and the first job is capturing flat or dark images. 

Request:  When running a capture sequence, the Capture Module will run a check
to ensure the light panel and dust cap are in the correct positions for the
type of image to be captured.  I think the Focus Module and Align Module should
perform a similar check before attempting to capture for their tasks.  Focus
and Align never need the cap closed or light on and if they are, the tasks will
fail over and over.  If the Greedy Scheduler is the cause, it will never
resolve the situation.  The cap/light has to be opened/turned off manually.
