Plan an imaging sequence that can fail gracefully
A sample guide to ordering calibration, focus, capture, and recovery steps.
Published Updated

This sample guide demonstrates the evergreen Guides collection and its callout treatment.
Prefer recoverable decisions
A useful sequence does not assume a perfect night. It establishes a known starting state, checks focus at meaningful intervals, and leaves enough context to resume after a cloud or connection interruption.
Keep the critical path short
Automate only what you can observe and verify. Every additional dependency should either remove a common failure or make the result easier to audit in the morning.
