I can connect the camera/guide cam/focuser to separate power supplies and the usb to the ASIAIR pro then the pro can still control the devices.
So either i get the ASIAIR pro power module fixed, which is probably very unlikely to be possible or I can do the following.
1. Buy a Pegasus mini power adaptor which has 4 power outputs and run the mount, asiair pro, camera and focuser from that. Does anyone know if the pegasus ($360) can handle an AZEQ6, ASI2600MC, EAF focuser and AISAIR pro? It is rated at 10 amps.
2. Connect the 3 way splitter shown in the attachment to the battery and plug everthing into that. I dont need the focuser and camera powered at the same time and the guide cam is powered off the ASIAIR usb port. So 3 connectors would be enough. This only cost $30 but is untidy compared to the pegasus unit and does not allow for dew controllers. Is this a viable solution or could I damage something?
