What Allan said x 2.
I won't do automation - takes half the enjoyment out of it for me - so I sit and usually watch every single frame for at least the first 2 hours. Then, if focus seems stable (using a doublet up til now, focus shift hasn't been of major concern), have a nap, with the alarm set to check the rig every 2 hours.
Yes, I did once do a few shots that were inadvertently binned. I also have made the mistake before of accumulative/additive subs - a Starlight Xpress software feature - that combines each additional frame to the first (GREAT, if you are perfectly polar aligned and don't set dither etc!)
