Complaining about it 2.5 years later and bunching all astrophotographers in the one basket in an ill-considered rant just isn't cricket.
Petra's thread isn't the place for it either.

I said something to you on the 2nd morning Mike and you obviously said something to the person concerned because they moved all of their gear to the other side of the house for the 2nd nights observing.
Only to blind me from the opposite direction on the 2nd night
IISAC 2007 was fine because the visual observers were sent to the bottom field, away from the imagers, laptops, lights and all the amenities, so the imagers could be close by the power available at the house.
As you and many others on the forum who have observed with me well know Mike, I try to be as helpfull and courteous to everyone on the observing field as I possibly can. I have always tried to be like that. I just take exception to a few of the thoughtless imagers that have scant regard for the other people on the
SHARED observing field. As I said previously 95% of imagers don't fall in to that category and it is only a small minority who cause problems.
Cheers,
