I have a HEQ5 and EQ6-R mount both used for astrophotography
These mounts need a solid power supply with spare capacity ( ignore their specs there not written for Australian mains voltage 230v +- 10% )
I’ve used Powertech 12V 7.5 amp power supplies for a couple of years now and no issues at all
The Powertech 12V 5amp will do the job but using the 7.5amp means it’s half loaded and will last longer
I also use a second Powertech 12v 7.5amp power supply to run my camera and dew heater equipment etc...
They are available from Jaycar or Bintel
There are other brands but these have proven their reliability , the main thing is to half load these things ( made in China ) and they will last longer
Cheers
