Ok, I am a long way from building but my plans are still festering away.

Can anyone comment on the use of a regulated DC power supply to run mounts and heaters? Particularly when paired with an ups to smooth over any short power interruptions (We get them from time to time)

I am thinking in terms of the 20A lab supplies from the likes of Jaycar. I am inclined to get one sooner than later and in my case being visual, would probably run the mount from it too as the worst a bump would produce is a need to realign the mount to continue observing, rather than a loss of track and guide star in AP.
