Also you can have a couple of nights in a row if it's clear for a couple of days. When I image I sleep though. Set the alarm and go check every 2 or 3 hours. So I do get rest time.
Lately it's been too hot/wet/busy at work so I can't do as much. But I always come back to it. It's my 'me' time, especially when I drive west. Good to clear the head and socialise which is why I originally started. To get out of the house as I'm stuck working there 24/7.

All sounds pretty worked out Marc - nice going
Me..? I just take the Bull by the horns and if it's clear on a week night and I am compelled to do an all-nighter, I just grin and bear it the next day
...well, not too often I guess so it's Fri and Sat mostly for me too. The Dome helps enormously though
(although I have to stay awake to rotate it every 30-40min or so
) Recently I did 3 all-nights out of 4 and the 5th was clear again but I was too exhausted and just refrained from looking out the windows at the beautiful clear sky...but I
am getting old
