While doing a capture of the Mars Occultation I wanted to do 150 frames of SER and then start a new sequence. The Idea is each SER file would have enough frames to get a good image of Mars without too much movement of the Moon. I also wanted continuous sequencing to document the occultation, so I set the number of sequences to 30 with a gap of Zero. The idea being to create a GIF out of the 30 postproductions TIFF's
So I set up a "Capture"
Select Capture Limit - Number of Frames: 120
Simple Sequence - Perform a Sequence of Captures
- Sequence Length: 30
- Interval between Captures: 00:00:00

The problem: As the occultation nears and the Moon fills more of the capture, the exposure needs to be adjusted down. Adjustments cannot be made mid-capture. Stopping capture stops the immediate capture but with "Interval between Captures" set to Zero there was essentially zero time to adjust exposure. The only way I could think of to correct the exposure issue was to do 30 stop captures wasting valuable captures or completely shut down SC. So how do I stop a sequence of captures to make adjustments and then move on? Also, even with a larger "Interval" if I was to abort a large number of "Sequences" Each one has to painstakingly be aborted. In other words, there needs to be an easy way to pause or abort all remaining sequences.
Hopefully this is an easy fix... or even better I missed the already in place procedure.
