Hi... yes a new member. Almost new to astronomy, but not altogether and have always had an interest. Now semi retired and had enough to jump in and buy a bit of equipment... so decided not to limit myself and go for it.. purchased a Celestron cpc1100... trouble is it has either rained, been very windy or cloudy or all those things so havn,t had a chance to try it out.

Question - can any one tell me if it is OK to use one of those Jump Starter power packs - rather than the Celestron Power Pack - the one I have looked at has a 12v dc cigarette lighter output socket and is only $39 on special from Autopro.

Thanks PaddyC
