I generally keep a log of what all my photos were throughout the night, so when I get home with a 16gb memcard full of images I know what I'm looking at. The imaging log for this trip looks something like the following. 19:40 - 20:05 NGC 281 - Balance issues 20:10 - 20:20 Rebalanced 20:20 - 20:50 NGC 281 again 21:00 - 21:20 A few Darks 21:30 - 22:20 IC5146 22:30 - 23:22 M31 23:50 - 00:20 wasted misframed IC1805 @ 500mm 00:40 - 01:24 IC805 @ 400mm 01:37 - 02:22 M42 2min exposures 02:24 - 02:40 M42 30sec exposures 03:00 - 03:56 IC2118 (wind, laptop rebooted) 04:05 - 04:55 IC434 (wind) 05:00 - 05:50 NGC2237 (no wind!) 05:52 - 06:30 2 minute dark frames
