Target Queue¶
The Target Queue shows your scheduled targets and their current status in the scheduler.
Queue Overview¶
The Target Queue displays all active scheduled targets, sorted by the scheduler's priority algorithm.
Queue Display¶
Target Cards¶
Each target in the queue shows:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Target name |
| Priority | User-assigned priority |
| Status | Active, Imaging, Waiting |
| Progress | Completion percentage |
| Observable | Current visibility status |
Sorting¶
Queue is sorted by:
- Currently imaging (always first)
- Next scheduled (based on algorithm)
- Remaining active targets
Target States¶
Status Indicators¶
| Status | Icon | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Imaging | 🔵 | Currently being captured |
| Next | 🟢 | Scheduled next |
| Waiting | 🟡 | Observable but queued |
| Rising | ⬆️ | Not yet observable |
| Setting | ⬇️ | Losing observability |
| Paused | ⏸️ | Manually paused |
Observable Status¶
Each target shows observability:
- Current altitude
- Time until transit
- Remaining observable time
- Moon distance
Queue Management¶
Reorder Targets¶
Adjust priorities from the queue:
- Click target
- Adjust priority
- Changes take effect immediately
Pause/Resume¶
Temporarily exclude targets:
- Click pause icon
- Target excluded from scheduling
- Click resume to reactivate
Skip Current¶
Force move to next target:
- Click "Skip" on current target
- Scheduler selects next best option
- Current target returns to queue
Filter View¶
Filter Options¶
| Filter | Description |
|---|---|
| All | Show all targets |
| Active | Only active status |
| Observable | Currently above horizon |
| Imaging | Currently being captured |
Search¶
Search targets by name in the queue.

Tips¶
Monitor the Queue
Check which target is next to ensure scheduler is behaving as expected.
Priority Tuning
Adjust priorities if important targets aren't being scheduled.
Pause Low Priority
During limited time, pause low-priority targets to focus on key projects.
