I use CCD Commander. I don't have a permanent observatory but use Wheeley Bars
so I can set up or take down in just a few minutes. All it takes, once I have
the CCDCommander script written is a mouse click and the sequence runs,
including focusing, plate solves and flats, for another night.

I run any night that _might_ be good and wind up throwing away a lot of subs
(sometimes I just erase the entire night).

But it really isn't much effort to take the same target or set of targets night
after night after night.

BTW Registar (the stacking program) is another help. That will let you combine
data from different scopes/cameras/camera angles. You can add data from the
previous year for example (all the data there was from this year but with two
very different scopes).
