First of all, there is an separate area for imagers with an less strickt light policy.
But there is no power on that field, unless you have a big batterie and converter, and can power everything from that. (what i dont have).
Secondly, we are allowed on the main field as long as we cover the laptop and have an shroud over it (i have all that and it will all be in a tent).
But still no power.
This was an question for the organizers of this event and not for you to rant about imagers.
PS: ever thought about going to that person and ask him to do something about his screen instead of just complaining?
Imagers love an dark unpolluted sky too you know.
And about the public outreach, a lot of people also like to see what comes up on the screen after having looked trough an scope, so they can see what it looks like in colour and then know what they have been looking at.
So for me it is like this: No power and it is of no use to me and dont see any reason to go. (imagers getting pushed in a corner).
Any other event i went too had power on the field for both visual observers and imagers.
