Eye patch? Bigger Thermos? As you were Googling, an alternative dark site?

Ok Neil I give up.

This is something I did recently, that extra mugful of coffee can make a difference when on a trip out. 

Unihedron Sky Quality Meter?

Awning to keep the rain off?

C'mon Neil, end this tension!

You'er such tease Neil, come on the tension's killing us all 

[Littleguy80]

Ok *drum roll* the item I wanted most was...

THERMAL SOCKS!

The closest guess, and therefore the winner, goes to @Mognet with the guess of Thermals. 

For sheers persistence, an honourable mention to @iPeace An observing chair was purchased after my first visit to a dark site. 

Well done all for the excellent guesses!

Good choice Neil, keeping the feet warm and having a good warm beanie to work on the other end makes a big difference.

Well, I'd never have come up with that one - my fur-lined boots do the job just fine!

A wonderfully detailed deep sky atlas for using with the dimmest of red lights because using a screen ruins the oh-so-valuable adaption at a verrrrry dark site.

(Have I ever mentioned my love for Interstellarum... )

Hat, it's got to be a hat....Damn......Socks.

Now I have some thermal boots which only require your normal socks. They just slip on........Great  The boots, that is

Thermals are definitely an essential! I bought today snow boots with a thermal lining as wellies and thick socks are just not good enough in the cold and damp. Hoping the are up to my Iceland trip too

One of these are nice too, and no batteries required.
