Hello,
So here is a full answer. I have no idea if its what you want, but this answer is consistent with how SkyTools Imaging is recommended to be used, so by providing a full answer I hope to avoid more confusion.
Recall that the Target Selection Tool isn't an end point. Rather, its a starting point. You have a Target List of objects, some of which you have already imaged.
When considering which of these targets to image, you could exclude the ones you have already completed in several ways:
1. Delete the targets you have already imaged. To do this, select the object and press the Delete key.
2. Use the Observation Status column and set the ones you have already imaged to the status of "Observed." Then right-click at the column heading and have it not display the ones marked as observed.
3. Mark the ones you have already observed via the red check mark column, and keep track of them manually.
Once you have found a way to exclude your targets, use the Target Selection Tool to determine which of the remaining targets are ones you wish to image in the future (the purpose of the Target Selection tool). When you decide you want to image a target, right-click on it and create an Imaging Project for it.
Once you have completed the previous step, open the Scheduler and set a night and the same imaging system. Let it tell you which of these projects you should image, and to make a schedule for you to follow.
Alternately, you could use the Real Time tool to accomplish the same, assuming you have your mount connected to SkyTools.
Hopefully this will suffice to answer your question. If not, please ask follow up questions as necessary.
