Hi Rowland,
Something seems to have gone wrong with the Scheduler calculations for the projects in this night. It looks like maybe it was interrupted while it was doing the calculations, perhaps by exiting or changing tabs before it finished. Perhaps it didn't recognize this had happened and didn't recalculate when you came back. To force a recalculation, try changing the weather (maybe click the Auto on) and let it refresh the list. Then switch it back and let it refresh again.
Clear skies,

Hi Greg,
That doesn't appear to be it. I shut down and restarted ST4, went to the Scheduler tab and let it run uninterrupted. Same result.
Thanks,
Rowland

That's not going to necessarily cause it to recalculate. Did you try what I suggested too?

Yes, I clicked auto on and then off, then went to the Target Selection tab, then back to the Scheduler tab and let it reload.

The reason I suspect that the data has not been calculated correctly for the projects on the left side of the dialog is that it shows an exposure window from 12 AM to 12 AM for M97. While it looks lie M97 may be just barely circumpolar for your location, this doesn't make sense. There should be a valid time period listed. Also, the Nightbar for M97 is not showing it above the horizon at all.
Try changing the date. Do you get a valid time period and altitude line for M97?
Also, it looks like you have an obstructed horizon. Try turning that off (you can disable it in your location settings). Does that fix the problem?

Are you certain is was disabled for this location? On the Nightbar the altitude lines are shaded darker when the object is below the obstructed horizon. I am still seeing this in your attached screen capture.
If it is indeed disabled, it may be that the change didn't propagate to the location in use on the Scheduler. Try switching locations and the switching back, of of this is a fixed location, switch imaging systems and then switch back.

Obviously somethings not working right. The location data is supposed to be completely updated after a change like this.
Try going to the Target Selection Tool and then back to the Scheduler.
If that doesn't work, try opening the Imaging Project and assigning a different location. Close the dialog. Open it again, and select the original location.
