Takes quite some time though ( about an hour )

Sounds intriguing. I gave it a try:

(.venv) sgeo@seevar:~/seevar $python ~/seevar/core/preflight/horizon_scanner_v2.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/sgeo/seevar/core/preflight/horizon_scanner_v2.py", line 23, in
from alpaca.camera import Camera
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'alpaca'

I did a pip install alpaca, but no change in result.
I'm in branch codex/private-seestar-alp-control
