I'm a nomadic imager who visits dark sites on new moon weekends for LRGB and does a bit of narrowband from home. I get so few clear, dark nights that I like to make the most of them. That's why (unlike Fred) I use automation to make the best use of limited time and still get some sleep.

During winter when the weather is predictable and more likely to be clear than not I leave the scope set up in the back yard and cover it during the day. With my ACP set up it only takes me a few minutes to start the scope going and even less time to shut down and cover up when I wake up in the morning.

It's a struggle to get much data but I'm so slow at processing that it keeps me busy anyway

Cheers,
Rick.
