Thanks for that. So my guestimate for a 130amp battery for 12 hours does not seem far off. Would need a truck to carry it there!

I guess will also get a 1-2 hours out of the lap top battery and could simply also buy a spare. Might be better off trying to find a powered camp site somewhere north of Melbourne instead!

Are you sure that your mount drive is as low as 500mA - what about when it is slewing?

No dew heating??
No slewing with this scope and no dew heating. The drive is a Losmandy same as on the G11 so that's what it comes up in the specs. With a 17am Celestron Powertank have run if for 10 hours no problems
