Is it possible to configure live stacking so that it doesn't restart automatically?

Hello
Is it possible to configure live stacking so that it doesn't restart automatically?
Let me explain: when a live stack is performed, for example, on M17 for 20 minutes, it saves the resulting image when the time is up, but then the live stacking process starts again on its own.
Is there an option to prevent it from restarting? In other words, if M17 is set to stack for 20 minutes, how can the live stacking process close after saving the image when it finishes?

Thanks.

Hi,

for that level of control, you would need to use the tools of the 'Advanced sequence editor', which would let you build a sequence that would be able to do that sort of thing.

For instance, there are various steps to control live stacking, including 'Start Live Stacking', 'Live Stack for <number> more frames then pause' and 'Save, Clear and Close live stacking'. By choosing the right number of frames you can set up a sequence that will stack for 20 minutes then close, then save that sequence to use again later.

cheers,
