Focusing, filter changes, even multiple objects are all scripted. Then we try to find the Polaris ATV in the dark, drive down the hill, and watch a movie. In the morning we expect to find the scope parked, the dome roof closed, the generator off, and lots of photos. Sometimes expectations even come true.
