Hello,
That does sound tedious, but you do only have to select the first image in each sequence and then tell it how many are in the stack. It automatically calculates everything else.
The primary purpose of logging images is to keep track of how much SNR we have accumulated so we can determine our progress toward our exposure goal. This is usually something only necessary for current projects. I will think about ways to do this in a more automated fashion, but the problem is that the FITS headers don't always have all of the information. For example, they don't tell you whether or not there was a defect that caused the image to be discarded in the final stack, or record the weather at the time of the observation.
