Hi All, It is often best to start out with some plan for an evenings viewing. I usually have a set of targets - or if imaging I pick out 3-4 objects from a star map and concentrate only on them. At present I have been imaging different types of star clusters thru my scope a 10" SCT - all at the same settings in order to compare them. It depends what objects are best placed for imaging. Before imaging I spend a night running thru a range of targets to check the scope can track them Ok. I also go back every now and then and reimage a target - you often get a better pic when a object is in a different parts of the sky. Imaging involves trying to better your previous results. I also do solar imaging during the day. Cheers, John W.
