Just a quicky on power supply. I pull 12v from my new obs computer to power everything and never had an issue. I did a few nights testing using an qhy5LII as a camera to collect numbers without issue. Now I have the atik 11000 connected I've had power issues.

The mount would stall while slewing and it's red power light would flash. The Atik would drop comms, locking up maxim and I'd have to pull and replug the usb to get it going again.

I've put the mount on it's own supply and all my problems went away.

I haven't measured what it's drawing but that obs pc is a low end AMD dual core with an Intel SSD drive and a 500 watt supply. Go figure?
