Internal Guider - Correction pulses sent every other frame? - by: Herrhausen

Hi, during the last couple of sessions I noticed guiding corrections were sent every other guide frame only. What I mean is this:

A frame is received from the guide cam. Drift Graphics as well as "Guiding Delta" and "Pulse Length" show the correspoinding values.

When the next frame is received though, nothing happens. Neither Drift Graphics nor Guiding Delta or Pulse Length are updated.

The third frame triggers correct action, the fourth doesn't, and so on...

I don't know whether this really means that no correction pulses are being sent to the mount, in particular when ST4 guiding is active. But it is my impression that indeed no correction pulses are sent because after dithering it takes way too long to get the guide star centered again. Normally I would have a 7 second wait between re-start of guiding and the next picture being taken. Recently though it took much longer for guiding to return to stable operation again.

Today I checked with Build: 2018-10-12T15:09:27Z and a fresh GIT pull (Build: 2018-10-16T12:47:25Z) but the issue remains (even when operating simulators).

A video is attached.
