I was out at French Creek State Park in Pennsylvania shooting the Rosette Nebula and thought my guiding graph looked weird but figured it was just wind. Turns out my guide scope had fogged over 45 minutes in, so all 30 of my 3 minute subs were trailed and useless. Do you check your guide graph mid-session or just let it run and hope for the best?
