Loop Until Localtime

I have a sequence that has Loop until 6:00 AM and I was in the middle of a dither with PHD2 when the 6 AM rolled around and it looks like the sequence missed the time as it continued on after 6.

Here is the log file. The problem occurs at 6 AM. Thanks for your help.

Hi Don,

this is expected behaviour - the 'LOOP UNTIL LOCALTIME' step is designed so that it will not go round the loop again if the time is later than the specified time. It doesn't stop the work currently in progress at that point in time, so it will finish the iteration of the loop that is running at 6AM before moving on.

If you want to stop at 6AM on the dot, use the 'Stop running these steps at time of day' step, which does what you are looking for.

cheers,

Robin
