1. For the past year the weather has been anything but friendly. Summer was longer and hotter in most parts of the country and cloud cover seemed to be almost unending for the greater part. My own astrophotography activity dropped down to almost zero for a long while. This would also have impacted on spontaneous star-parties and get-togethers.

I hven't found this a problem this year. The drought has been good for astronomy but not for my grass.
I create a folder of images for each night I have used my scope. I just counted 98 nights so far this year. There would have been other clear nights that I had to work that I didn't open the observatory.
I must admit that I don't usually answer beginner questions unless they are on the science fields I am interested in. Maybe we could all be a bit better at replying.
