I am lucky enough to have an observatory and that helps a lot as it is comfortable and my feet are not on the cold damp ground. As I primarily image these days I can get the system running and come back inside. I have to admit when I go out to the dark site (Bretti) it is hard to motivate myself to go much past midnight, and that's even with a group of like minded people ( although a glass of Port helps ward off the chill). Once you get past midnight things can improve but dew is usually killing off many people's setups by that time, that or falling battery power.
If your interested in a particular target that does not rise high enough until after midnight, just go to sleep and get up then. I admit that's hard if your not using a backyard observatory.
