D Battery conversion to mains?
I searched the forum for past threads about batteries and there were plenty but none that directly addressed my issue.
On my telescope I have clock motor drives for both axis and the controller is powered by 4 x D size batteries. Of course I can just continue to buy and replace batteries or purchase a battery recharger from Jaycar for $60.00, but I was wondering if there was a more permanent solution.
Where I observe from a large concrete area, is close to a garage/office with normal household power. Is there anyway I can modify my power supply and just tap into the house supply, or is that just going to be too strong and melt the whole thing?
Any thoughts?
