Need Sequence Lengh to be larger than 10,000

I set up my all-sky (fish eye) lens during the eclipse. I had it taking a fits file every second. There's plenty of room to do that since each fits file is only 1 MB. Taking a file every second makes it 3600 shots an hour. I was setting this up in a location a little bit away from where I was, and was setting it up for the day to capture the sky during the Totality. i had tested capturing leading up to it but didn't realize the limit until I was setting it up for the eclipse. I couldn't enter in a number larger than 10,000, so basically couldn't just let it run for the day. When I set it up, it was 11:00 am and the totality was a 2:30.. so you can see 10,000 isn't quite enough, and wouldn't be long enough for the whole eclipse. I was taking shots off of a dock in SC and it was dramatic in that the sun was going in and out of the clouds and about 2 minutes before the totality the sun suddenly freed itself from the clouds and was clear of clouds the rest of the eclipse. i ended up coming back to the lens a couple times, but messed up an hour before the eclipse and because of the 10,000 limit, it stopped capturing at 2:30... the totality was at 2:37.
I missed the main part.
I can understand a limit, but 10,000 is way too small to do time lapse. I didn't realize the limit until setting it up for the totality. Maybe allow 100,000 or something else that would allow a longer time lapse, if their file capturing type isn't going to create large files, or a warning of some sort.
Just a friendly suggestion,
Andrea
