Start Date 11/26/2010

Description 
Run Plan with Observation specifying Autofocus before observing. Periodic AF set to 2 hours. See this in the log.









15-Sep-2010 17:47:22.8: Obs already has autofocus, extend next periodic autofocus


15-Sep-2010 17:47:22.8: Next periodic autofocus moved to 01-Jan-0001 02:00:00 UTC









The date is wrong. Is it a logging issue or is the next Periodic AF wrong?

  Several fixes to periodic autofocus and one to the outer loop of the dispatcher.

Even worse, the interval was being added to the next scheduled AF time not the current time!

This is worse. If Periodic AF is on, the first obs gets run before the initial/startup AF. Thus s_NextAF is not yet set, hence the symptom we saw.

It's wrong, not cosmetic.
