Now with my new observatory it is much quicker.
The process is:
Decide it is dark and clear. 10sec
Change into suitable attire for being outside in Armidale. Brrrrrrr- 5 mins
Collect my camera and laptop and walk to shed. 1 min
Pick up 12v battery and walk 100m to observatory- 2 mins
Roll off roof, boot up computer and start EQMOD.
Load saved alignement stars, and slew to a bright one. 10 mins total
Check focus with live view function. 2 mins
Slew to what I wan't to image.

All up much less than 30 mins.
