My first attempt at the Orion Nebula ended with a dead camera battery at 2 AM.

I drove out to Joshua Tree for the new moon, got everything framed. Right as I started the 5 minute exposure, the screen went black. Forgot to charge the spare. Had to pack up with zero shots. Anyone have a good power bank they use for cold nights?

What camera are you using? The power draw can be pretty different between models, which changes what battery pack makes sense.

Murphy's law always hits hardest at 2 AM.

Totally, my coffee maker died at that exact time last Tuesday. Just brutal.
