I have a mains adaptor but found it too difficult to use inside the single battery compartment holder due to switches inside the battery compartment.

My battery holder though is not excessively heavy so I found it not so bad to keep it running. It is also handy as I do not need to remove it when taking standard daytime or non astro photos.
