Jay: Good to hear. I'm thinking I'll brave the cold and head on out if the weather looks good. I'll look forward to seeing you, Joe and maybe some others there. I was at GBNP last September for the star party and really enjoyed myself. While I prefer overnight lows nearer 40°. I'm in desperate need of a good night out. Hope others will join us.

I have two - a 60 and 75 amp hour - which should power a laptop all night.

Hi Kelly, Thanks! I have a generator but it would be annoying to anyone else at a star party. Do you think the batteries could power my laptop all night? I have other batteries that I use for other needs, but it's the laptop that's an electrical hog. I think I have an inverter too, but if not I could buy one. Best wishes, Joe
