I always multi-task. My system is setup for remote operation and is fully automated. I rarely ever spend time at the eyepiece. If a run is done ove night then the images are saved, but I rarely post process the photos.

The images are exposed only long enough to see what my naked eye can't. I refer to it as remote observing when done real-time. During real-time captures I read, watch TV whatever. On overnight runs..I sleep.

Depending on the weather:
a) chilled beer
b) chilled fresh juice/shakes (orange/coconut/mango/​cashew/banana)
-...-...-...-
c) tea/coffee with suitable biscuits and cakes
d) set alarm and 'snooze' for the 30mins

Depending on female availability:
i) a quick-one with any bored local babe/concubine
ii) use backup camera and shoot model/babe/concubine
iii) hunt for a backup concubine for good times for the additional shots of 2,3,4,5.....etc

:confused:

Hmm, I like the way you think. :)

You probably haven't been to the same dark sites as me, but local babe/concubine quality isn't very high in those areas, hence the beer...

They're not too shabby here either. Grew up on the Gold Coast. But the skies aren't dark. So you have to make a choice, astro or babes. :)

Does this mean red-light districts are premium astronomy dark sites? :lol:
