Hi Victor,
You are most welcome to come along with your friend.
There should be plenty of spare bunks available.

We generally take generators to Bretti, to recharge batteries during the day, but not generally to run equipment during the night-time observing sessions.
As you can imagine, a great deal of the appeal is to get out under the country skies and enjoy the peace and quiet.

That said, generators are rarely needed at Lostock as we have 240 volt power available from the house. Recommended setup is extension cords and a power board. Or 12 volt battery and inverter if needed. We can help set you up if necessary.

As to cost, I am not too sure, except that I recall it seemed way too little for the level of comfort and facilities. Perhaps Arthur can provide the exact cost details in advance. From memory there is a small fixed fee which is divided by the number of attendees (pro rata for days attended) plus a smaller amount per person (per night). As a guide, maybe $20 for the three nights.
