Yeah power is of a concern so batteries are go. Not sure on what the NEQ6 pulls per hour or how many batteries i will need all up.
Before i start going out west ill do a bit of testing at home to get used to it all. A friend lives out on acreage out at Samford (basically a farm) and has agreed to let me use his property. Probably not going to be pitch black but its a start.
I have also heard that Camp Mountain lookout near Mt. Nebo is a nice dark location, although i have no idea where it is.
I was also going to try Clear Mountain but the only non-tree infested area's are private property. No parks or anything, so unless i setup on the side of the road (no thanks!) then there isn't much hope up there.
I've got January off work so i will be doing some traveling to see whats around out west that isn't too far out.
