Apart from the tilt issue with my coma corrector ( my fault ) the image turned out ok for semi starless rendition.
I hate the cold too , that’s why I image from my warm lounge room and watch TV with a cup of hot chocolate
All you need is a 10m Cat5e cable ( $15 ) and Windows pro version on your Lappy and Nuk which has Remote Desktop.
Been imaging like that for nearly 5 years now ( same down the coast at my Dome )

Once I get my pier set up it will make that feasible. I have the hole dug, crushed blue metal and concrete dust in the bottom (to prevent the clay destroying the pad, it's all clay and on a semi steep slope).
My problem has been getting enough clear weather to do the concreting, I haven't yet had aggregate delivered (sand and gravel mix) because of the slope and the weather, the sand will wash straight out if it rains and it's constantly overcast. Everything is basically ready to go other than that. Fourteen bags of cement and aggregate is actually cheap to do the job.

Throw in I never know how I'll feel when I wake up (migraines day and night for over 50 years (daily)) and that very much defines what I do and don't achieve.
Headache not so bad today which is rare but had a tooth pulled this afternoon and the more I move the more I bleed.
I will get to it, it's really not a lot of work but my day always starts late, doesn't help.
My camera isn't mono and my OSC is just a small Player one Neptune (IMX178 model) so I'm never going to get what you get but once pier is in I will play with my full frame DSLR.
