I'd take one only if it were a very quiet, 4-stroke high-quality model, like a Honda, Yamaha or similar... and it were spefically allowed by the organisers. Otherwise I don't think I'd consider it. They are still noisy on a pristine night where people are doing their observicg or imaging. It's usually pretty quiet - especially later in the night.

Due to last year’s overwhelming popularity, we have again set aside the observing area adjacent to the house for astrophotographers with laptops where light restrictions are more relaxed. Generators are permitted at the house observing area.
