power supply recommendation

[muletopia]

Hello folks,
Sob,I have left my Bortle 1 home site where a 12 volt ,solar panel via an 12 volt AGM battery, supplied power to my Sitech controller driving my Mesu Mount Mk1. I have moved to the outskirts of Pittsworth in QLD and will have mains power available for Sttech. Recommendations for power supply?

I've been using a Victron Blue Smart Battery Charger for the last few years without hassle. They're IP65 Rated, so the night time dew isn't a hassle.
I grabbed an accessory cable as well and made my own adapter using XT60 connectors for my scope setup. mainly because I couldn't be bothered to chase down the plug type they're using and didn't want to cut the cable on the charger.

You can set it up through Bluetooth to be a power supply, and you can set the output voltage. I've got mine set at 13.5V, and it's been pretty stable from my experience. I haven't put an oscilloscope on it to see how ripple free the DC output is, but it hasn't caused issue in the last 3 years.

EDIT: They're kind of expensive, but a drop in the hat against what the rest of my astro gear is worth, plus I got discount at work.

When I had a Mesu 200 mk1 I powered it with a 'Powerwerx' 30 amp supply:
