I have asked ZWO for this feature several times now but not gotten any definite response so I'll try one more time.

Because I have a limited FOV I use PLAN mode almost exclusively. I'll typically PLAN to image several different targets on those rare clear nights as they move one after another through my limited FOV. The problem is while I know exactly when they will pass through that FOV it is not easy, and certainly not fool proof, to set up my imaging schedual so as to be exactly ready for a 2nd or 3rd object to be within my FOV as my PLAN moves to it.

It seems to me a very simple solution would be for ZWO to add the ability for us to set multiple START times for a single PLAN. Or perhaps another way to think of it would be to add a START time for each object in a single night's PLAN.
ZWO is this even possible? If so any interest? Thanks Al

    Byrdsfan1948 Thank you for your feedback, we have considered of this function, but due to some reason, can not be realized in the short run.

        Tech@ZWO Thank you for your response. I have no programing skills so I would have no idea just how difficult this would be to accomplish.
        Having said that would it be possible to then just simply add a second PLAN function?
        Basically Plan A with it's start time and then PLAN B with a latter start time set to begin some time after PLAN A would have completed?
        If one choses to use the second Plan ( PLAN B) perhaps an option in PLAN A would be to: START PLAN B at the completion of PLAN A? Or after some inputed delay?

        Sorry to bother you in this regard but it certainly seems to me this would be a very useful feature to help us take full advantage of those every rare fully clear nights :-). Or for as in my case a very limited FOV.
        I appreciate your consideration but also understand if the idea is either technically too difficult, or just not something ZWO considers an idea many of your users would be interested in that it not something worth considering. Al
