Currently SGP allows a very basic scheduling of sequences.
I can define a start time and an end time but not a day..With my setup currently i monitor some asteroids and some galaxies for Supernova research.
I think can could be useful a more complex scheduling.
If all night were clear my "program" is quite simpleOn odd days i have a specific sequence for supernova research with 5-10 targets (M1 from 20 to 21, m2 from 21 to 22 and so on for all night), on even days i monitor asteroids, on new moon LRGB
The observatory is remote, and i don't have good internet connection all days (depends on how much snow in the near mountains, sometimes happens is not reachable for a couple of days..
The problem is that now i have to manually select the sequence file and manually push start button every evening before sequence starting.. and for asteroid is more complex because target must be updated with new asteroid coordinates from day to day..Supernova research is not a porblem, the galaxy will not noticeably move from it's coordinates for a couple of million of years.. But for asteroids i have to create different sequences, with updated coordinates different day by day.. It's not a problem to create manually multiple sequence with updated coordinates (in a couple of hours i can create about a month of sequences) but i have to manually start the correct sequence for each day end could be source of errors..
Every sequence will have as usual the equipment profile options selected.
Could be useful if i could schedule for example the entire month and then SGP with Safety monitor opens or not opens the roof.. if for example it's raining, safety monitor reports unsafe and don't open the roof, next day, new sequence file with updated coordinates.. and so on
