Steve,
I use a single 240V AC lead, via an RCD, to where I image.
It feeds a multi block with 4 plug outlets. From this I run:
2 plugs for the monitor and PC case.
1 for the SBIG camera power supply.
1 for an AC transformer to power the mount, dew heaters, and any other 12 volts systems I need. (this is via a homebrew RCA splitter, feeding one RCA 12 volt in ,and up to 4 RCA out).
Typically the 12 volt stuff is just the mount and heater unit, but occasionally other items like the StarMate are plugged in.
No problems with all this, and contrary to how Ponders handles his cables, mine is quite tidy. We have lots of horses nearby, and none have choked, LOL.
All is housed/fitted in a roll out TV trolley, so it is all but plug and play.
Gary
