Yep, that's how I do it.
If the scope has to change locations by a fair way, that's when I go out to check. For minor movements I don't bother. If I'm lucky enough to be imaging in the same area of sky all night I don't go out at all

Only takes me about 1 minute out in the cold to pack the obs up

The less I move from my heater, the better
