TF, if you let me know the makes & models of the cameras, I’d be more than pleased to design a BMF power pack for you.

You can go the one-per-camera option (with enough juice for a 12-hour session for each camera), which would be relatively cheap; OR a “power station” – a luggable box with connections for each type of camera. Expensiv-er, but very flexible.

I’ve done one for my own Pentax K7 DSLR, with LiIon rechargeables and a 240V IEC input (so I can use a 12V-240V inverter from the car) it came to around AUD$85 – and I get around 17 hours out of a single charge!!

BTW, I’m also figuring out stacking as a n00b, so your first efforts are pretty impressive! Keep up the great work, I love seeing the Northern sky highlights!

Email me if this could help, and my apologies if you’ve already got your electron source sorted…

Love your work

DAMN ! Doing this alone, outside of cellphone coverage or immediate contact to emergency services,… you’ve got some steely brass balls there!
