Hi,

not a bad idea ;)

For now, the simple workaround is to hit the 'Stop Capture' button - it will still process the frames that have already been captured to a master dark/flat, but if you accidentally run for 2000 frames then you can at least stop it from doing all of them.

cheers,

Robin

It happened to me the other night
I had started the sequence for the master dark but I had not put the cap on the telescope
Then I pressed ESC and it stopped

Hi,

yes, that will work too, since ESC is a shortcut for stop capture :)

cheers,

Robin
