I fully trust my Losmandy G11 gemini 2 with a Meanwell GST60A-15 (15V 60W).

The GS series is excellent for the price and 3 year warranty.

They are very well designed and comply with all relevant standards and have datasheets available for all the specs you could want.

Mine cost me like $50 or something.

FWIW i am an electrical engineer well versed in power supply design.

the OWA series is IP67 rated and has a 5 year warranty, if you are so inclined to go that route. i made the decision not to go IP rated because 1) you dont use your telescope when it is raining (unless you are on drugs) and 2) internal heat ensures condensation can't occur (as a precaution ive wrapped foam around mine) and 3) i keep my GS strapped to my tripod (ie off the ground).

as i said, i am an electrical engineer and i trust my Losmandy G11 with a Meanwell power supply. I would also trust it with a Recom or XP Power but they are more exxy and harder to obtain. There could well be other reputable supplies out there but i havent found one. Meanwell ticks all my boxes.

Many thanks!
