Description

Another first. Night doesn't really start here now until at least 10:30 (usually its midnight before I'll go to bed after telescoping) and frankly I was rather tired. Clear nights are not to be missed, so I went for it and ran the session completely unattended.

I automated things last summer, but never have set it up to start completely on its own. Something made me a bit nervous about it, like a completely self driving car.  I got up the next morning , though, and it all went without a hitch. Gotta give credit to NINA's advanced sequencer.

Given the option I would prefer to just be outside, but on those nights where for some reason I can't be its a nice option to have.

(With the shortness of the night I decided to run lum only and use the color from last year)
