Maybe I am overlooking something in the scheduler because it does not activate the ZWO AM5 Mount. I can do individual GoTos and create lines in the Schedular and start the schedular successfully but then the scheduler doesn’t process the line item and eventually aborts the line and all the following lines.

Is there something I’m overlooking ?

Ubuntu 20.04 on a laptop, ZWO AM5 mount, ZWO cameras, KSTARS 3.6.2 or 3
Similar schedule problems Astroberry image 1/5/2023
I added ‘unpark’ and ‘park’ to the scheduler and here is what I experienced.
-Single line scheduler entry works only if it is the first attempt.
-Multiple lines in the scheduler entry work ONLY if there are NO Previous errors
-ANY type of error in the scheduler requires a COMPLETE Power off/on cycle to clear everything as just restarting KSTARS/EKOS does not clear previous entries.
-If I have successful multiline Schedule It WILL NOT RUN A SECOND TIME as EKOS simple aborts each line. A full Power cycle is necessary .
POSITIVE NOTE: I use the scheduler more and more often even for single line entries and while experimenting with the Mosaic feature, pretty cool !!!!

Otherwise I really like KSTARS/EKOS and Astroberry and hope the Developers continue their work.

PS: I am now afraid to ‘update/upgrade’ Ubuntu because upgrading might update 20.04 32 bit to version 22.xx 64 bit version and there doesn’t seem be be 64 bit KSTARS/EKOS INDI available. I tried finding KSTARS/EKOS INDI 64 bit on a separate Ubuntu 22 machine ….. this software does not exist.

That was with a Losmandy Gemini, not an ASI machine.

The Losmandy Gemini 2 is weird with or without a PC. I returned my NEW GM811 because one of the terrible problems was random slewing out of control. I do recall for best computer GoTo to perform a hand controller goto in the same area of the sky then initiate the PC software.
