yes, depending on what you mean

i point it at the target, get it framed properly and focused and start the
automation software and then go inside to do other things. If I stay up then
I check on things from time to time to make sure the images are looking OK
and not look out of focus etc

but that's about all my typical intervention these days

Great picture Richard. I wouldn't try anything other than Halpha on this
object as it is only high enough to be imaged for about an hour for me. To
get the exposure times you have would probably take me a full summer.

It certainly was worth the effort; a wonderful image!
