Hi,


I want to use a 12Volt DC Battery to power a SkyWatcher Star Adventurer, laptop and DSLR for astrophotography and am wondering if anyone can advise me on the best products to buy and any pitfalls to watch out for. I am looking for a setup that can power a GOTO mount like the HEQ5 too with the capacity to run other reasonable equipment I might buy for astrophotography in the future as well. I plan to use a DC Power adapter to power the laptop and a DC coupler running into a dummy battery for my Canon 450D. I want to use a good, efficient surge protection system as well, but I am not sure of what to get for this. I heard I can use an inverter with this built in but that this is not as efficient. I know that I would need to watch out for the recommended voltage and amps rating for my gear. Would anyone be able to advise me on the best way to go about this, what to buy and from where?


Thanks,
