Been using Pixinsight for a few days now.  Absolutely LOVE it and will be purchasing after my trial is over. 

Sorry if this is obvious, but I cannot seem to fingure out how many of my light frames were actually used for a given integration. 

I'm using the BatchPreprocessing Script for Image Integration/Calibration of DSLR Raw Files.  Is this information held within the FITS file that is compiled and/or how can I figure this out. 

I'm trying to find out how much integration time I have for a specific target, but I only know how many files are loaded into the script.... not how many are actually used.

Thanks for your help!
