Description 
See this Comm Center thread for ACP. The Periodic AF interval could be a series.






For Scheduler, how about the series starting at dusk, with the last given interval repeating to complete the night as needed. This could be an interesting strategy for the ACP one too (instead of starting at the time the observing runs starts.

  FIx scheduled periodic autofocus for multi-day operation. Actually found several flaws in the logic.

Clearly has flaws, including what to do if someone forces an AF. What do you do with the schedule?

May not be restarting the schedule on subsequent night when left running 24/7. See this Comm Center thread by Stacey Mills.

Fix defaulting of 0.0 in the Settings form. The changes are in the code commits for SCHEDULER:1600.

  Complete testing, fix fencepost error at beginning of night. Do help. Fix initial Config display to start at the top.

  Allow a schedule of periodic autofocus times. The .user change is for adding the -s (simulate) to the debug command line options. No logic changes.
