Visited my girlfriend and her parents, and took my portable equipment with me (astrotrac etc). My plan was to do astrophotography the whole night, unfortunately those plans were crushed as the batteries for the astrotrac died after one hour (of which 50 minutes were spent aligning everything). I got so angry I even forgot to take darks. Oh well.
