longer than it should....
i open up just as soon as sun is beyond horizon. give it an hour to cool down etc,during that time
1.i will bring up the computer gear if nessesary
2.plug in all cables
3.once first stars appear check camera focus( it should be 23.2mmout)
but do a couple of test shots anyway
4. turn on heater strips for guidescope and accessories
5.Check pole alignment once pole stars are visible
6. check computer for target location (non goto here)
7. align to requried target.... (this can take a while to get centred etc)
couple of test shots for composition
8. turn on and calibrate guider.
9. firing away with 6 min exposures.
hopefull imaging once fully dark 1- 1 1/2 hrs ish
