Hi,

that might work - or a 'stop if guiding lost for more than 'x' minutes' block?

cheers,

Hi Robin,

that would be a very useful sequencer block and it would be great if you could implement it... :)

Greetings!

What do you think about introducing a block that allows the execution of further commands, such as plate solving, after a certain time of the lost guide star?

Hi,

I think you could build that with a block that cancels the imaging if guiding is lost - the imaging would get cancelled and then the sequence could continue to the next bit to handle any remedial steps. If that doesn't work out then I could add the 'On Timeout Gosub' option to the lost guiding block fairly easily. Let's try the simple one first to see if it is sufficient.

cheers,

Robin
