Hi,

I'm having trouble downloading NightScheduler from the link at the bottom of this page:
http://sonotaco.com/soft/UFOHD2/UFOHD2Manual/en/0-0.html

Is there another link I could try perhaps please?

Also, is it necessary for the PC, or in my case PCs (I'm going to be running 4 PCs to begin with, and possibly adding more in the near future), to always be connected to the internet? Could I just connect them every few days and do a manual "internet time sync" (using Win 10)?

PS. I would like to buy 3x licence for UFO Capture V2. I have already bought one copy at the end of last year.

Is it straight forward to buy multiple copies at the same time, or should I buy each individually?

Best regards,
Leo

I've just installed and registered NightScheduler but before I continue I'm a little bit confused about some aspects and have a few more questions:

- I've tried to set my location in NS as 52.8,-1.9 (my location is around 30 km north of the city of Birmingham in England), but if I do that and set the Time Zone to 0, then I see the wrong sunset/sunrise times for my location. It says 14:36 (SunSet) and 02:34 (SunRise)in the boxes next to "Latitude" and "Timezone". What am I doing wrong?

- Is the Windows system hybernate file required? I have deactivated it, but can reactivate it again I suppose. It might mean my C:\ drive is fairly full however. I only have small SATA SSDs for system drives.

- Once I've added a schedule, how do I activate it?

- If I click "Test", does the PC shutdown (asuming it's during daylight), and then boot at the specified time, or am I required to shut down the PC?

- I cant see any mention of shutdown in the documentation, but I presume it does so at sunrise?

Thank you for any help.

Best regards,
Leo

Thank you for your answers, and sorry for all the questions.

I did have my long/lat reversed. I'm going to have to start getting some early nights for a change! We had quite a few clear/semi-clear nights, and I love to observe the early PERs, as well as the CAPs and KCGs (observed 4 suspected KCGs last night).

OK so I've tried to set up a new schedule, and I think it's OK now. See attchment.

I tried "test" and UFO capture stars up. Do I have to do anything for UFO Capture to start detecting?

How do I specify a shutdown command?

Also, in the shedule settings dialog, what is the "Absolute Time", and when might I need to adjust it?

Sorry once again for all the questions.

Best regards,
Leo
