telescope.Scheduler simulation mode (simulate) output airmass distribution prefers high airmass. Check how this was solved in the original LAST simulator. For example, prefer targets that have meridian crossing during the night.

Add the following functions:

Fixed by adding the following criteria:

  1. the first observation of the night is preferably done in some user defined HA range.
