30 * Executing the sequence jobs is a complex process (explained here for light frames) and works roughly
31 * as follows and starts by calling {@see Capture#start()} either from the scheduler, by DBUS or by
33 * 1. Select the next sequence job to be executed ({@see startNextPendingJob()}. If the list of jobs is
48 * flip actions, guiding deviation, dithering, re-focusing, ..., see {@see #checkLightFramePendingTasks()}
50 * - Initiate capturing (set diverse settings of {@see #activeCamera()} (see {@see #captureImage})
64 * - update time calculation and counters and execute post capture script ({@see imageCapturingCompleted()})
69 * TODO: check why we need this separate method and cannot use {@see updatePreCaptureCalibrationStatus()}
79 * Capturing ADU based flats begins like capturing other frame types. The difference begins as soon as an
80 * image has been received (step 6 above) in {@see imageCapturingCompleted()}. Here {@see checkFlatCalibration()}
81 * is called to check the frame's ADU. If the ADU isn't in the expected range, a new frame is captured with
86 * Capture has three ways that trigger autofocus during a capturing sequence: HFR based, temperature drift based,
87 * timer based and post meridian flip based. Each time the capture execution reaches the preparation of caturing
98 * {@see #updateMFMountState(MeridianFlipState::MeridianFlipMountState)}, the meridian flip state is set
100 * - If capturing is running the state remains in this state until the frame has been captured. As soon as
101 * the capturing state changes to id, suspended or aborted (see {@see CameraState::setCaptureState(CaptureState)}),
102 * the meridian flip state is set to MF_ACCEPTED (see {@see MeridianFlipState::updateMeridianFlipStage(const MFStage)}).
103 * This is triggered from {@see #checkLightFramePendingTasks()}, i.e. this function is looping once per second until
108 * As soon as the meridian flip has been completed (and the Capture module is waiting for it), the Capture module
109 * takes over the control and executes all necessary tasks: aligning, re-focusing, guiding, etc. This happens all through
134 CameraProcess(QSharedPointer<CameraState> newModuleState, QSharedPointer<CaptureDeviceAdaptor> newDeviceAdaptor);

291 * After triggering the settings, this method returns. This mechanism is slightly tricky, since it
292 * asynchronous and event based and works as collaboration between Capture and SequenceJob. Capture has
