So why are so many of the Syndicate jobs I put in not being completed, or, even started?
I've recently requested the downloading of the data from such syndicate jobs. This will enable me to evaluate the data ahead of resubmission at a future time. Hopefully these will be downloaded once everything else has been caught up with, in order that I can do that.
Some of my jobs I've deleted since no data at all had been captured. I admit that many of these were not submitted by me as early as Steve encourages us to do so, however, there are exceptions.
There is no rational explanation for the following, other than the algorithm has taken a disliking to me. Delusions of paranoia? Maybe.
A broadband galaxy target was submitted in mid January, at a time when the job could have been completed in less than one excellent night, just 4 hours needed out of over 8 available. Nothing has yet been captured? Right now it will only be available to image for just over 2 hours, setting around 0.00 according to Telescopius. So how come does a similar job, but not submitted until 2 1/2 months later, get completed and yet nothing at all for mine. Furthermore that target did not set until around 02:45.
Steve may well have an explanation, I have mine! Rant over.
If you have a job that you submitted ages ago, has it maybe stopped being collected, and do you know how soon it will be in a position to restart.
It might be very soon, but if not is it worth having a look at what's been captured so far. I recall that some members were so very keen to get access to the data asap, even whilst still being collected. This resulted in a change that means we now receive the data almost immediately after capture, notwithstanding server issues. It can always be resubmitted immediately after checking. It will then appear in a more logical position in the job queue, at the bottom and not at the top. Just a thought.
Infamy, infamy that bl***dy algorithm's got it in for me.
