The steps I take on the second night are as follows....

1. Setup scope and do a polar alignment.
2. Slew scope to eastern sky and take a 5 second exposure.
3. Plate solve that image and sync mount.
4. Select image from previous nights session and do a plate solve. Then do a goto.
5. Setup new imaging session and start it.
6. Go to bed.
