Congratulations on a beautiful image

I used a 75Ah deep cycle battery. My setup(laptop, 350D, EQ6, Starshoot guider) draws about 4.5~5A depending on what the laptop is doing. This used about approx 50% capacity after about 8hrs @ 20-15Celcius night.
I had the current draw measured through a benchtop PSU.
Hope this helps..
