Smart Sequence Dither failing

Issue #1185 resolved

2.1

Description

Blinking the previous mights images I see most are not dithered. I look at the PHD2 logs and saw large gaps in the dither commands. I was running a Smart Sequence of 120 x 300s subs and with dither set to 1; after every image.

Steps to Reproduce

In the attached log you will find the last correct dither:

23:09:54.3059 - Finishing Category: Camera, Item: TakeExposure
23:09:54.4469 - Starting Trigger: DitherAfterExposures, After Exposures: 1
23:09:54.4469 - Starting Category: Guider, Item: Dither
23:10:11.9767 - Finishing Category: Guider, Item: Dither

The next image at has no dither following it:

23:10:12.0467 - Starting Category: Camera, Item: TakeExposure
23:15:13.1279 - Finishing Category: Camera, Item: TakeExposure

There is no dither until the next one over four hours later, all while running the same sequence.

03:54:36.2715 - Starting Trigger: DitherAfterExposures, After Exposures: 1

Expected behaviour

Should dither after every sub.

Actual behaviour

Gave up on dithering at some point during the sequence after first dithering correctly. Over 50 subs without dither.

    Did you clear the image history in between? I just realized that this leads to such a scenario. Will fix that.
