It'll probably stretch to both nights if I don't charge my lappy for the second night but that'll mean no guiding and just using the DSLR instead of the CCD, which wouldn't be the end of the world

I'm camping but I read that there is power in the buildings, is it available to charge stuff?
I assume many people will be wanting to do the same thing so how many power points are there?
Charging during the day is no probs at all.

Heaps of power points, and people bring power boards. People are always charging batteries, laptops, cameras etc during the day.

Depending on where you camp, if you're on the imaging hill, there's potential to get 240v on tap. Just bring a few extension cords and a power board. They get pretty overloaded with people all piggybacking off a few power boards, but it's only tripped the power once
