So what are people thinking they're going to image while there? I've only been to dark sites twice, each for one night only. First time was mind-blowingly awesome, but I think I tried to do too much. Attempted too many targets etc. Second time I had all sorts of technical issues and came away with disappointing results due to very short usable subs. I'm hoping to have those sorted well and truly over the next couple of weeks.

This time I'd like to focus on less targets with more quality time. I'm there for 3 nights.

Do you usually only do DSO's at dark sites? My thinking here is that planets are pretty bright so shooting them from light polluted home is not so much of an issue and the benefit of the dark site isn't great. But nebulae, galaxies etc benefit greatly from the dark sites.

Whatchya reckon? And what actual targets are you planning?
