Lodriguss' Laws of Astrophotography - It's always clear at full
moon. - If it's completely clear all day, it will be cloudy that
night. - Three mutually exclusive things: not having to go to
work the next day, no clouds, no moon. - If it's clear with no
moon, it will be bitterly cold and the wind will be blowing like
a hurricane. - While autoguiding, the tracking graph will look
great but stars will be trailed in the image. - Any speck of
dust or dirt inside your camera or telescope will end up on the
sensor during the exposure. - Perfect polar alignment means you
will kick the tripod leg in the dark. - Perfectly guided
exposures will be incorrectly exposed or out of focus. -
Perfectly focused photos will be poorly guided. - Perfectly
aligned, focused, guided, and exposed photos will be
accidentally deleted from the memory card. - No amount of
planning, practice or expertise can replace dumb luck. A
