Hi,

To be sure of the condition and to test an eventual change, can you zip and upload this sequence file 20_07_2020.targets

Unfortunately I didn't save that file and made a new one. This failure has not been repeated yet. But previously this happened, according to my observations, if the first shooting was done in manual mode, and then the automatic sequence was started. If it happens again, I will save the file and send it to you.

OK, I will try to reproduce using about the same timing as in the log.

The error was repeated. I didn't do anything, just started the sequence.

I installed the old version of the program 0.70 and started the old sequence. It used to work normally. At about 2: 30, I started shooting in manual mode. Result in the file. In addition, there are problems with detecting stars in unfocused images.

I am not at home now and cannot use a computer I can trick the time for testing, this has to wait I return.
Can you also indicate the timezone you configure in the computer and the approximate longitude set in the observatory preferences.

UTC+04:00
47 West
The clock does not change to daylight saving time.

I have a few time today to look at the issue and I think I found the error.

Just above you say you are at UTC+4 and longitude 47 West.
But this is inconsistent, for UTC+4 you must be at 47 East. Are you in Brazil or in Russia ?

If I set my computer time to July 26 at 22:18 and timezone to +4 ,then set the CCDciel longitude to 47 west I get the same error "Stop time xxx already passed".
But if I change the longitude to 47 east it work as expected.
It also work with timezone -4 and 47 west.

I check the code change between 0.9.70 and 0.9.72, the only change in target initialization is about mount unpark and camera cooler. Nothing about the start time:
https://github.com/pchev/ccdciel/compare/v0.9.70...v0.9.72#diff-04a3933dd33b4fa8d89d3090f1065557
So the fact it sometime work or not don't depend on the program version but most likely because at this time it is the same date in Brazil and Russia.

Can you confirm that changing the longitude work for you?

In this case I can a some checking in the program to control the longitude is coherent with the computer timezone.

Patrick, this is my mistake. My longitude is East. Thank you for your work.
