Issue in 4.1.0.850 and previous release - auto focus ignores filter Exp time

Sequence Generator SGPro Support
1

seems to be an issue with .850 and previous release with AF (at least with EAF)

unlike the other user that was having issues with position not reading

in this case AF started creating failures where I have none before.

But I can see the issue

during a manual focus run initiated by the run button in focus control the focus is fine

but

during AF in a sequence the filter exposure settings are ignored and the exposure used is 0 secs

this results in an AF failure as it cannot obtain enough data on the stars to get the HFR profiles

see attached log

basically in the sequence it fails to AF on HA filter - even though the HA filter exp time is 25 secs

It’s because of this:

SGPro is supposed to warn you of events with no filters set. Did you not receive a warning when the sequence was started?

I blame my COVID head :frowning:

not sure how I missed that

but no … it didnt give a warning as I saw …

Hmm… Ok, well, I’ll take a look at that. Feel better.

Im not sure why, but I removed this warning last year and I didn’t make any note as to why. In any case I added it back with a “Dont show again” option so it wont be as easy to make this mistake.
