Aaah yes. Condolences. It’s so painful when you loose valuable clear nights due to unforeseen mishaps. Pretty sure we can all relate. If I had $1 for every time I’ve lost hours of data for some stupid reason, I’d be able to build anew obs.
- Focus slipped and not adjusted for next few hours…check
- Failed to remove bahtinov mask after focusing…check
- Mount doing a random slew 10min into a 4hr autorun program and imaging some random piece of sky…check
- imaged target with wrong filter…check
- whole night of beautiful data but stuffed up flats making it all unusable…check
-data missing from usb drive at end of night…check
-spend ages trying to work out what’s wrong with the image until realising switched main/guide camera and was imaging through the oag…check
The list could go on and on…
