Seems to be a time related paradox, where does the missing imaging time go to. Anyway, hope to be out again tonight gathering photons as the forecast is still good.

Jeff,
Every time I’m out time flies and just to capture say 2 hours of data takes me 3 hours as you have framing , focusing , dithering , delay or pause settings and meridian flips etc ...
and then throw in the odd passing cloud bank here and there
I suppose there’s challenges in the hobby everywhere you look , that’s what makes it so satisfying when you nail a good image after all the hard work , issues , fatigue and so on .....
