When at home, as I live alone, if it is clear I basically stay out there and go to bed at dawn. Often I sleep outside on the ground with a dog or two but we have a blanket to lie on... There is something I like about waking outside having had a little sleep from say 4-00 am till dawn.. this is in Summer not a Winter thing.
I wish I had kept a log because in four years I recon I would have 10 years experience at the scope.
My best run was when I did my last batch of wide fields and that was five nights in a row all night. I will nap a bit when tired but sleep long hours when not viewing. I gets strange after a couple of days but as I am alone I can handle it.
I save work to when I can do it and thank goodness there is never much...however since down here the pace has been hectic but no astronomy my only relief where I can get stuff off my chest and feel as though there are people near me, has been this and 2 other forums.
I am still trying to escape the city and plan to do a couple of full nights when I get home if the weather is suitable.
There are so few nights for photos you gotta go for it if its clear.
