Hello,
There are signs that something is pretty wrong. The moon isn't drawn in the right place on the graphic! I think there is some underlying problem, and that is why it isn't starting your images earlier in the night.
Be sure you are updated to the latest version (4.0j R2).
The first thing to do is to open your imaging system and make sure you don't have a filter called "No filter." That filter can cause problems. If you do have that one, edit its details and change the abbreviation to "Clr".
Check every setting for your imaging system (click every button). Ensure there are reasonable settings for everything, including the timings and control system, etc. Click every button. Be sure to set reasonable values for your GEM Mount too. If your mount can track past the meridian, be sure to set how long it can do that, on both sides.
Next, return the time sliders to their default positions (noon and noon the next day). SkyTools knows when its dark, so these are unnecessary. They are for adding arbitrary time limits, such as when you go to bed. It is possible that the time sliders are causing a problem.
Finally, clear the schedule, change the date, change the imaging system, change the date back, and the change the imaging system back. That should reset everything.
Try scheduling again. Let me know if you still have this problem.
