I've been using CCDCommander for over a year now. I program several night's worth of capture well ahead of time, then, just load up a particular night's program, and, away she goes. My first task is to start the CCD cooling down (gradually) once the Sun is 6 degrees above the horizon. Then, by the time astronomical twilight is complete, my temperature is down to -25 degrees and slewing to my target, ready to find a focus star. If I'm not imaging through the night, then, I set my camera's temperature to 0, and wait for astronomical twilight and ramp the temperature back down to -25 degrees again, ready for moving to Achernar, finding a focus star, and then taking the appropriate filter's flats for that night when the time is right (all taken care of by CCDCommander).
I haven't had any problems with it whatsoever.
