Hi

Another suggestion to add to the mix. I only use regulated power supplies for all my astro equipment. But, some gear requires centre positive, other bits are centre negative. My Tak mount runs off 24V, Vixen mount 12V and I also have 6V and 3V power supplies.

To minimise the risk of damaging equipment, or myself, I label each power supply with the name of the equipment it is used on, and whether it is centre +ve or centre -ve, as when tired, in the dark, under the dim light of a red torch, it is easy to make a mistake and use the wrong power supply.

Cheers

Dennis
