Auto refocus about every 12-15 minutes (quick with cmos) and phd generally will deal with minor clouds. My jobs after setting it running on dusk are to listen for rain and to shut it all down in the morning.
I guess the point is that there are useful intermediate stages on the way to full automation.
Agreed, I'll likely do it is stages, just so I don't get too freaked out
