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:

  1. Currently imaging (always first)
  2. Next scheduled (based on algorithm)
  3. Remaining active targets

Target States

Status Indicators

Status Icon Description
Imaging 🔵 Currently being captured

Setting ⬇️ Losing observability
Paused ⏸️ Manually paused

Observable Status

Each target shows observability:

  • Current altitude
  • Time until transit
  • Remaining observable time
  • Moon distance

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.
