Diito from me Leon, nice pics and sound advice on planning your target and sticking with it. I know too well how boring it can be waiting for shots to finish, then you dig out Sky Safari and think, "but just to the left a bit is a galaxy I haven't got yet, so why don't I stop now and try for that before I finish up?" Next thing you realise at the computer is you didn't get enough data of your first target and the second one got chopped in half at the edge of the frame. The eagerness to catch them all makes fools of us all.
I find myself just taking subs on nights the skies are clear of just a random direction, no specific target, just to have some stuff to process when I have time. Those pesky interesting items "just to the left a bit" I instead take note of and try the following night to go for them specifically.
