"No sequence has been added yet" error

Hello,

I was trying to use the Sky Atlas to better frame an object (NGC1893) I wanted to image. I moved the scope to the general area with a Goto, then went into SkyAtlas to frame the image and clicked +Plan to add the target

However, when I go to the target list and add a sequence, the ASIAIR (mini) will show the target and sequence normally but will say that it will complete at the current time. Moving back to the main screen it will refuse to start the plan with the error "No sequence has been added yet". This isn't an error with positioning- it's perfectly happy to accept the same sequence if I tell it to image NGC1893 directly, but then the framing is off since it centers the object

Any ideas?

Thanks

I have the same problem. Just updated ASiair to 2.4 (12.29) tonight. Set up a Plan with 2 targets, each with a single shooting sequence. Clicked the Start button and it gives me the "No sequence has been added yet". Have been able to get AutoRun to work with the 1st target and the exact same shooting sequence without drama. I think we might be seing a "bug" here!

Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.

Additional note to the above post: my first target is a custom one that was defined using the 'scope's current position. I'm offering this in case it has some significance.

Fiddling around with the Plan problem tonight, I finally found the cause of this problem.

In previous versions, when I added a target to my plan, it was automatically selected/turned on/activated. All it needed was a shooting scheme, and it was ready to go. Since 2.4, adding a target has the target de-selected in the plan. One has specifically to select it/turn in on/activate it.

I don't know what the logic is behind this, but, surely, if one adds a target to a plan, it should be an active target, unless one specifically de-selects it. I'm sorry, but I find this to be nonsensical. It's cost me 2 nights of hair pulling!
