You shouldn't fully discharge a deep cycle battery. Not more than 50% unless you don't mind shortening its life dramatically (don't know why they don't call them a 50amp.hr battery) so you're not going to get much more than a nights observing from that battery.
Remote observing is a challenge!

Thanks David sounds like I need to get myself a another battery just for the CCD.
I'll run everything seperately so I don't run the risk of draining the battery below 50%.
Cheers!
