Description airbourn 2023-12-02 16:37:43 UTC

Conditions:  Running a capture sequence that includes flat or dark images with an automated cap / light panel.  I use a FlipFlat.

Issue:  When capturing an image sequence that includes flats with an INDI light cap connected, the guider (PHD2) will start it's fail logic because it can't guide anymore.

Request:  The Focus Module pauses guiding when it performs it's tasking.  The Capture Module should do the same when it's generating flat or dark images (cap/light closed).

I should mention that the guider in this scenario is an OAG - which is why PHD2 complains.
