A pre-sequence checklist has been added, with a message detailing potential sources of issues when starting a sequence:
Camera can cool, but cooler is not enabled
Camera temperature and target temperature are far apart
Camera cooler is at high power
Dithering or Start Guiding is enabled in one of the sequence items, yet guider is not connected
Autofocus is enabled yet focuser is not connected
Slew to target is enabled yet telescope is not connected
This gives the option for the user to ignore the warnings, or cancel starting the sequence.
Additionally, the Sequence Start button is not enabled if Imaging is in a capture loop.
Â
All the various combinations were tested using simulators only.
#151
Put is as an improvement, but is almost an unintended new feature, as can be a life saver to avoid mistakes on sequence start in the end.
