Limit Settings
Limit settings are applicable to all the images in the sequence queue. When a limit
is exceeded, Ekos shall command the appropiate action to remedy the situation
as explained below.
· Guiding Deviation: If checked, it enforces a limit of maximum allowable
guiding deviation for the exposure, if autoguiding is used. If the guiding
deviation exceeds this limit in arcseconds, it aborts the exposure sequence. It
will automatically resume the exposure sequence again once the guiding
deviation goes below this limit.
· Autofocus if HFR exceeds a value: If autofocus is enabled in the focus module
and at least one autofocus operation was completed successfully, you can set
the maximum acceptable HFR value. If this option is enabled then between
consecutive exposures, the HFR value is recalculated, and if found to exceed
the maximum acceptable HFR value, then an autofocus operation is
automatically triggered. If the autofocus operation is completed successfully,
the sequence queue resumes, otherwise the job is aborted.
· Autofocus if change in temperature exceeds a value: If autofocus is enabled
in the focus module and at least one autofocus operation was completed
successfully, you can set the maximum acceptable change in temperature
value. If this option is enabled then between consecutive exposures, the
change in temperature value is recalculated, and if found to exceed the
maximum acceptable change in temperature value, then an autofocus
operation is automatically triggered. If the autofocus operation is completed
successfully, the sequence queue resumes, otherwise the job is aborted.
· Refocus every x minutes: you can set your focuser to refocus every x
minutes. (where x is the amount minutes input by the user)
