I'm trying to understand the best sequence of operations when the roof closes.  I am using NINA, which gets its data about the roof condition via ASCOM drivers.

Let's say you're imaging an object and the roof closes for an hour:
1. Do you stop tracking?
2.  Do you close the cover?

When the roof opens again, do you:

Autofocus?
Slew to the target?
Solve & sync?

With NINA's advanced sequencer, the sequence will start where it left off when conditions are safe.  
I'm seeking the most efficient way to use my imaging time but don't want to repeat any unnecessary steps when the roof closes.


Thanks!
Jerry

Do you use the Sequencer Powerups plugin?  You can create a loop inside your sequence using the When Becomes Unsafe command and the Once Safe command.  There is a good discussion of how to do it here: https://www.astrobin.com/forum/c/equipment-forums/stefan-berg-nighttime-imaging-n-astronomy-nina/nina-start-stop-and-pause-with-safe-conditions/?page=1#post-160673
