heh thanks Jakob, I didn't get much sleep on that night, was a bit of a zombie yawning all day in meetings
I put myself in a self-imposed exile for last night and tonight leading up to SPSP - I need some sleep in reserve!

Thanks Paul - i'm really looking forward to all the targets in Scorpius. It's always exciting when you get to image a new object for the first time.

I'm not too worried about leaving it unattended.. what's the worst that can happen? Rain? yeh ok, but it wasn't gonna rain
A few ruined exposures, no big deal. I need some sleep too
So far the unattended sessions have performed very well although I lost 8 exposures of M104 due to the tree, but me being out there wasn't going to stop that either.

I'm not lost to the true astronomy - luckily at the moment I don't need to make a choice - DSO earlier in the night, planetary before dawn. When Jupiter gets higher, when the seeing is good it will always win

Thanks Paul - I feel i've got a fairly good grasp on the processing of DSO images finally.
I've also been taking my images at ISO400 lately so they're smoother and less noisy. But I can really only do 5 minute exposures (max) from home due to LP - will have to longer subs at the dark skies.
Thanks again for your comments.
