Too right. Being on the edge it's at the mercy of so many more variables that can and do go wrong, the sky conditions being one but also temperature, wind and equipment behaving on the night. But the rewards are worth the pain when it all clicks.

We have so many beautiful colorful bright nebulae up ahead at our latitude many being circumpolar. I for one plan to hit them again and again at different FL and different emission lines while it lasts. We're spoilt for choices. Keep doing what you're doing and have fun doing it.
