1. Plug the RA cable into the Dec motor and the Dec cable into the RA motor and spent ages checking out the software/ firmware to find out what's wrong.
2. Image with the Bahtinov mask in place.
3. When imaging with a dslr have the camera set to small jpg instead of raw.
4. Knock the tripod at minute 29 of a 30 min sub.
5. Walk away from the scope while it's taking pics and come back to find you'd forgotten to turn on the dew heater and the object lens is dripping.
6. Move the scope around trying to find a guide star and then forget to check that your main object is still framed reasonably.
7. Sit watching the computer, wondering why the guiding has gone haywire, then looking up and seeing that it has clouded over.
8. Etc, etc
