I have been creating some capture sequences and use one sequences for capturing various objects.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
However, in the sequence file the location (folder) where the captured images will be stored is fixed. This means that when I want to use exactly the same sequence for another object, I need to update the directory location each time, otherwise the captured
images will be put in the same folder each time.</div>

Is it possible to use variables in the folder name, to dynamically create a file path where the captured images need to be stored.</div>

When I target NGC7000, then this should put capture files in a folder named:</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
/home/myusername/Documents/20211125_NGC7000</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
And next time I capture M31 the capture files should be put in a folder named: /home/myusername/Documents/20211125_M31<br>

<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
I hope this is possible and that this can be used in the schedular as well. As the scheduler has a 'Target' name which could be something that could be used as variable in a path '%TARGET%'.</div>

If this is already possible, then where can I find which variables I can use.</div>
