Hey Rob, I'm planning on taking a 500W UPS with me. Mainly for protection from Fukushima events. I keep all electrical off the dews in my igloo like tent. I only open half of the roof for the scope and mount. The other half is for the table/chair, laptop, power board, power supplies, etc... I also put fabric on top of the tent to soak the dew held with pegs and rotate a few dry ones overnight (old kitchen curtains). They're great at soaking all the water. I dry them during the day. Been using that routine for years. It keeps me relatively dry all night with no drama. When I'm done I close the tent and go to bed.
