Alex,
I’ve used Startech 7.5 amp 12V Power Adapters ( 240V AC to 12V DC ) for my EQ6-R in Sydney and EQ6-R down south in the NexDome
I use 3 off them at each site and they have been running flawlessly for over 3 years without failure ( that’s 6 units in total )
1 for the mount
1 for the camera
1 for the dew heater unit
Model no MP3575 available from Jaycar and Bintel and possibly other suppliers ( Cost $45 )
I just changed the cigarette plugs to Heavy 15amp duty type ( they come with10amp ) some folk use Anderson 12V plugs or other 2 pin HD 12V plugs
The Startech 7.5 amp Power Adapter will run your EQ8-R mount , no issues
You may want a more sophisticated power supply but these things just work and I’ve had no issues at all ( I bought a spare unit for each site but never had to use it , so far )
Cheers
Martin
