I am a big fan of cycling through my filters in a round robin fashion, as can be done with Autorun Mode by unchecking the "Group By Slot".  Is there any way to cycle through the filters in the Plan Mode, in the same way as in Autorun ?

I believe if you enter Plan Mode from different panels, different settings become available, if anyone knows how to disable "Group by Slot" settings for a Plan, would you please give me the steps for this ?

Or let me know if it cannot be done at all …

Thanks smile

Unless something has changed during my down time/off season I don't think this is possible. You could set your plan up to manually rotate the filters - but it would be a pain as you would need to add a ton of single exposures. If you are doing a mosaic this can only be done for one of the panels at a time as well. 

I've not used this functionality with the Asiair much, except for comets where it is absolutely essential, the two main reasons being:
I prefer plan mode and generally collect a lot of exposures over a long time so I wouldn't need to rotate for any specific reason.
The Asiair isn't built for it since it doesn't support filter offsets. So a re-focus would be needed for every exposure which is costing a huge amount of data during a session.

So it looks like I'm out of luck then, not to worry …

Thanks Jan
