Smile Good portable power supply

Hello VK2KR,

Alex, sorry for the delayed reply - work commitments have been overwhelming lately.

I'll look forward to hearing how the LP 3mm ep goes. How will you connect the webcam to the scope?

I'm using a car jumpstarter and 12V DC power supply that I got on the internet from OO.com.au in Sydney. A bargain for $39.95 and the 12V cable (supplied) fits the iOptron "Cube" mount too. So I didn't need to buy the cord from the telescope manufacturer.

The 100mm mak sounds interesting. A longer focal length will be really great for the planets.

Thanks for the other tips as well.


All the best,

Glob.
