Once I get my observatory Laurie it will be set in concrete
Once I've done the initial drift alignment after being away, it's not a drama for other nights. I have good marks on the concrete and a touch up drift with K3 normally doesn't take me any longer than half an hour. So by the time I get set up, have a cuppa, wander round the back yard looking for observatory spots, curse the mercury street light out the front, chase some possums with my green laser, check out what might be good to image for the night, or decide if I'm just going to look for the night, all the while popping back to check the lappy screen and making subtle adjustments half an hour disappears in no time. Quite a pleasant way to spend the early evening actually
