Maybe I’m best just sticking with 240V mains power to start with. Things have already escalated rather quickly. A couple of weeks ago I was considering picking up a ‘cheap’ telescope and now I’ve got all of this gear on the way.

Oh well, nothing like jumping in at the deep end, haha
I can't comment on whether the 12V 3A then powers the two USB out ports on the 183mm Pro but, on the camera itself, I'm pretty sure it only powers the Tec Cooler. Your sensor/camera itself picks up power via the USB 3 connection...

240V is certainly an option... until you want to move out of your backyard to a nice dark site...
