Automated sequences with many sequential targets
Sequence contain a list of target and can indicate a start/stop time and repetition options
Target is defined by a name, coordinates, rotator angle, start/end time
Target coordinates can be set from the planetarium
Import mosaic from the planetarium.
Import Cartes du Ciel observing list.
A moving target can have it's coordinates updated from the planetarium at the time of the observation
Target option include plate-solving Goto, auto-focus position, skip or wait if the observing condition are not reach
Use horizon profile for objects rise/set time
Every target use a predefined plan to not have to type everything again
Plan are multi-steps, with number and type of frame, exposure time, gain, binning, filter, auto-focus and dither options
A target can also be a script or an automated sky flat at dusk or dawn
