Will there be power on the field?

The observing fields will not have power available. However, we will be providing 110 VAC power at the Main Yurt Shed for the purpose of charging batteries on a first-come, first-served basis as capacity allows. You are encouraged to bring sufficient battery power to operate your equipment.

Many observers use deep-cycle marine batteries or the smaller lawn tractor variety. Portable 12 VDC power packs with reasonable capacity are easily available at stores such as Costco or Wal-Mart for under $75.

To operate AC equipment you can also pick up a 12 VDC to 110 VAC inverter.

We will assist attendees in transporting the batteries to the main yurt for recharging. Details will be provided on site.

Very quiet generators may be used if they are located far enough from others as to not disturb neighbors.
