Imaging at Bretti

Bretti is a great dark site for visual observation and imaging, but obviously imagers (and goto visual guys) need to ensure that they have adequate power for the various systems they need. Bretti has no AC power, its a free camp reserve and you will need to bring your power with you. Generators are allowed but respect others, use sound baffles to direct the sound away from other people, and don't plan on running them all night (they are great for topping up your battery/ies). Adequate battery Amp/hrs can run a mount all night, and with an inverter can take care of most laptop system requirements. The sun is always there in the daytime so solar charging is used by many of the regulars.

Imaging has been going on at Bretti for some time now, with Jakob the first that I know of to start imaging there. I have been imaging on the site for at least six months and Astro Jason, Dunk, and Edison more recently. Everyone is welcome.
