Ekos Manual focusing and scheduler - need help

[AstroMuni]

I do my focussing manually. I achieve a manual focus with the aid of the Focus simulator before I start imaging. But once the scheduler has taken charge, if I need the scheduler to do a refocus, there doesnt seem to be a way for the scheduler to pause automatically and alert me to do a manual focus. It treats as if I have an automated focuser and goes into a loop.
Is there a way around this?

AfaIk, there’s no way around this. The scheduler is intended for automated operation, and since you’re focusing manually, there is no real automation. In your case it’s probably easier to start an imaging sequence in the capture module and set an alarm to signal when it is finished. (Or get a focus motor, of course.)
