Thanks everyone. Thankfully gradients werent too bad, as with the Merdian flip it didnt all happen on one side of the finished image, Gradient Xterminator was able to handle it okay.
I sit back in a comfy office chair next to the scope, with the DEC slow motion hand control within reach, drive corrector RA control in my hands, and watch the guidestar on the laptop, with ditital TV in a window on, or listening to JJJ or the footy on the radio depending on what time it is and whats on. Every now and then I will pause proceedings to nip inside for a cuppa or snack.
For obvious reasons I only do marathon imaging runs like this on Friday or Saturday nights as I work mon-fri.
Its amazing how much darker the sky here gets after around 11 pm or midnight, it seems as if a fair bit of lighting gets turned off. Subs earlier in the night but after astronomical twilight are somewhat lighter than ones taken later on or in the morning hours.
