I'm fiddling with the Scheduler, trying to understand how I can use the same job for the same object multiple times, in order to realign each time.
Right now I'm not using a guider, my HEQ5 is polar-aligned correctly enough to run 2-3 minutes with acceptable results.
So my idea for this test was to run a job with 5 2-minute captures, with Track and Align options set, and repeat it once in order to run the 5 captures again.
I was expecting either the idea to succeed, or the Scheduler to switch the copy to completed after the very first run.
But apparently the result is a bit different
I called the job "M 35", and associated a .esq with 5 120-second LPR captures. I attach a screenshot, and this is the log:
The first job succeeded (screenshot shows capture on the left), but the second job only ran the alignment and did not capture at all, though it said it would, and completed two seconds after that. As expected from this, no captures with the relevant timestamp for the second job can be found in the output folder.
Is there another way I should follow to achieve what I wanted, or is this a bug?
