I haven't made the trip to a dark sky for years.
Last time was to image comets C/2002 T7 and C/2001 Q4 sometime in 2004.
At that time I had a bit of concern about the reliability of the old bomb, especially with no phone coverage out there, but now it's the fuel prices as you say.
Might head out bush again when there's another interesting comet, if I make a 3-night weekend of it instead of an overnighter, would be more attractive price-wise.
