Time estimate when doing flats

SGP's remaining time estimate needs quite a bit of improvement. For example if I am taking flats for 4 filter and each flat is milliseconds long, the time estimate for taking 25 for each filter by SGP can be as small as 3 seconds. But in reality, it can take 25 minutes. This is because SGP does not take into account the download times, filter set time, filter wait time, the time between each sequence.

I think if it did "actual" time measurement and improved its estimate over time, it will be so much better. For example, when I set it up for night, I do not know if the sequence will stop at 4:00am or 5:00am or 6:30am. SGP estimate is almost always completely wrong on estimating "low". This can end up producing sequence captures taken at dawn.

I am pretty sure I am not the only one to see this flaw. May be there is a workaround for this.
