Hi Eric.
I do have the power cable and a couple 12v batteries. It was just a first run to make sure that everything was working properly and that the alignment and setup was good enough to last the night. When a moonless clear night comes, I won't be jeopardising the night by relying on AAs only!
And I am looking forward to taking the setup to Qld Astrofest.

Better get some top quality lithium AAs, or better still, power from a 12V sealed lead acid battery (instructions in the manual and cable available from Wildcard Innovations http://www.wildcard-innovations.com...._describe.html ). As it gets cooler and you will want the LCD heater coming on, you'll need plenty of power. The right size battery will ride happily on your base.
Wait a minute - "Qld" - OK, you'll need the power to drive a personal cooling fan for the observer  |
