I agree with Phil, I only setup when I'm rested, the conditions are right and work won't get in the way.
There's a lot of equipment to setup each time, since I don't have an observatory yet, so I really only setup if I know I'll have a good chance of obtaining decent data.
Also I concentrate on one or two objects per session, trying to maximize how much data I get on each.
I'm kind of happy that my other hobby is photography, so I can switch to that if the weather isn't up to astrophotography.
I enjoy just taking time out with my camera now and then on a trip, just to unwind after a hectic schedule.
This helps keep my interest in both hobbies fresh.
One of my other hobbies is electronics, so I really enjoy building/designing circuits too.
And I like dabbling in computers and building systems myself.
My wife says I have too many hobbies.
