Spent a lot of time trying to find suitable targets to image before Cepheus rotated high enough, hence the clusters.

Environment variables don't seem to apply in virtual environments, so how about a script?

#/bin/bash

cd /home/steve/sasp-314
. venv/bin/activate
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland
export QT_OPENGL=desktop
python setiastrosuitepro.py
/bin/bash

The sun reaches a turning point at 09:24 CEST today when it is overhead on the Tropic of Cancer. Astro darkness at Alicante is 23:26

 The main target tonight was ngc7023, the iris nebula but it only got to imageable height after midnight. Need something to do for an hour or so. Found some fuzzy patches which were high enough. Had to plate solve it to find if there was anything there. Spectacular stuff...
Oh, and then dense fog. Wonderful.

The P630 iGPU is shown as being present: 

To make it register activity here:

We need:
sudo setcap 'CAP_SYS_ADMIN=+ep' /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/ksystemstats_intel_helper
