I check the sky EVERY night, even if I know the clouds are going to stcik around.
If any sucker holes appear normally the little 80 mm Achro just to pan around and check my favourite bits. Or even just the binos.
Otherwise the 10" comes out on the DOB base and if it's looking really good then it's up on the EQ6 and powered to go.
I get a bit of viewing about 2 to 3 x a week I reckon when you account for weather, family commitments and the call of the 'wine'.
Maybe 2 good nights per month.
Do you count workshop time ? When I'm downstairs building the next iteration of astrogear I have dreamed up ?
