All the best with your setup Peter - sounds like you should be able to ride out the inevitable outages. When the power does go out, I'm sure there will be enough beeping from all the newly purchased UPSs that it will wake the dead! Hopefully hairdryers, electric blankets and fan heaters will be banned to avoid overloading the circuits.
I spent Thursday & Friday nights imaging at Leyburn. On Friday night I was able to run the mount, CCD camera, laptop & dew heaters flat out from 6:30pm til 3am from 12V batteries alone. It was -0.5degrees when I went to bed at 3am - only stopped imaging because the moon was rising.
