Sure...

I use 4 different plugs so I don't fry anything.

There what I had lying around in the assorted box.

And it's only 3 channel, thought it was 4 as I have 4 things plugged in but as the power supply is regulated, I pass the 12v straight through to the fourth. Built this a few years ago so was a bit hazy on what I exactly did. Photos show all. I added a LED voltage display too, but I often tape over it when taking astro photos.

The velcro at the back of the scope is where I place the USB hub.
The power box attaches to the focus controller and the focuser, otherwise I would have attached it to the back of the scope with velcro as it's quite light.


Cheers,
Damien
