John,

I saw something new last night with CCDAP. I had light frames run right up to dawn, and ccdap aborted them as it should, but did not do flats or darks, but did warm the camera and did the roof close, but did not park the mount.

Wouldn't it be better to abort the light frames and do the flats and park the mount even if light frames had to be aborted due to impending dawn?

Cheers,

Pete

Pete,

Since you had flats at park position checked, you should have checked Park Telescope after the Targets Run on the options page. I'll interlock those checkboxes in the next revision to protect against user error.

Ah,

more user error. Left over from testing the Flat-Man XL.

Thanks,

Pete
