Hi everyone...
I'm so enjoying the end of daylight saving.
I set up around 6.30pm and have been imaging for nearly 2 and a half hours now and its only 10.08pm!!!!
Woo bloomin' Hoo!!!

Have to agree there Doug, I can get a lot more done on a week night and not turn up to work with my eyeballs hanging out of their sockets.

Cheers

True words Doug :lol:

I'd like to retire at 55, go nocturnal and image to my hearts content but methinks my wife and bank manager might have something to say about that. :doh:

Same over here, and about time too, they have extended it at both ends, and it really is annoying now.

I dunno.. I won't like it when it gets light at 3:30am. And in the evening, with kids it's too hard to get setup and be ready to image at 6:30pm. Have to wait for them to be in bed, so dark at 7:30pm suited me :)

Have to admit Mike, I've sort of come around to your way of thinking :). I'm finding that without daylight saving (only been one week since it ended) I'm missing out on an hour or so of images because I don't get the scripts running until about an hour after dark.

I guess I realise I can live with or without it, but moving between daylight saving and non-daylight saving takes some adjustment either way. Right now, I need to adjust so that I have the scripts ready the night before, to start as soon as it's dark on the next night.

(PS I will still be voting against it in the Referrendum here).

Roger.

I really like the idea of the sky getting dark at 6:30pm but I don't like the idea of it getting light at 3:30am.

See you take it off one end and it joins up with the other end, a no win situation, but it is good that it is dark early, cant wait till those frosty nights return.
