Hi Monte

Thanks for the info re chokes etc. that’s useful information to have.

So far, (touch wood!), I haven’t had any EMI/EMC problems (apart from a wireless mouse and Notebook mains adapter interaction) but I did once read about an early model Kendrick dew controller (MK III?) that may have been the source of interference for ccd imaging, so I just keep my signal and power separate as a general practice.

As I have to set up and tear down each night, I’ve just got into the habit of running Power on the RHS of mount and Signal on the LHS of mount.

Oh, just remembered, I did get a circulating current in my auto guider cable once (Skysensor 2000), from a (3rd party) PSU, the result of a slipped heat sink on an internally mounted metal cased transistor power device shorting to the metal chassis of the PSU!

Cheers

Dennis
