AutoFlats Scheduler -- "This AutoFlats Sequence does not have incomplete events to capture" despite preview showing generated events

Been having this issue with SGP since day 1 unfortunately, I can’t wrap my head around what’s going wrong. AutoFlats seems to work fine when I use it manually, but if I try to schedule it as part of my sequence I get the titular error when starting up a sequence. I have confirmed that it’s not just a false alert, it really doesn’t capture any flats before or after my sequence.

I’ve made sure (by clicking on the preview autoflats sequence option on the scheduler page) that it really does show events generated for autoflats, it just never actually executes anything. I’ve scoured every setting and help manual page I can think of, but nothing I do clears the error or gets me automatic flats.

Any idea of what’s going on?

Ignore the autoflats run near the end scheduled for tonight, that’s a manual run.

Apologies… I seem to have missed this support request. My initial guess is that you are using the option to automatically sync progress of the requested AutoFlats with the disk (previously saved flat images for specific targets). This would not show in a preview because it is a thing that can be calculated until it runs.

See the “progress sync” option here: Step 1: Define Basic Capture Properties

If you uncheck this, AutoFlats will capture new flat frames again according to the sequence’s progress only. When it’s checked, the progress of AutoFlats is impervious to sequence reset.

If this is indeed, descriptive of the issue you are having, I’ll add a little hint like this to that warning you noted in the title.

Hello! I was indeed using that option and have since turned it off, but unfortunately the warning about no incomplete events to capture is still present. I have tried it with and without manually added flat events in my sequence just to be 100% sure, the warning appears no matter what.

This is the first night of good weather I’ve had in a bit, I’ll see if dawn autoflats capture this morning or not. Thank you!
