I have a script that opens my Scopedome and Syncs the telescope with Scopedome. If it runs at the beginning of the event then the plate solve and auto focus runs before the event and thus before the dome is synced which doesn’t work.
Is it possible to have the script run before the plate solve and autofocus? i.e before the target
(I need to run the Dome from Scopedome software as without Scopedome’s Skymap feature I can’t get the telescope and dome aligned well enough at high ALT and thus need to use the roll off roof as the slave in SGPro).
Sounds like you could use the already-requested “start of sequence” script option, similar to the end of sequence script?
Try adding a “dummy” target as the first one in each sequence that takes a bias frame, and call your script from it. Make sure it does NOT slew to anything.
I use “SEQUENCE_START” as my target name and set the start time to astronomical twilight. All my other targets start at 30 degrees, so I only need to update the actual start time in one place every few days.
