Thanks Beren for the battery ideas but as more big $$$ which I just can't afford (justify) right now that I've spent big on the mount I had to go with the jump start from Supercheap for $54. I believe these are good for about 5 hrs of continuos use. I''ll also look at a 12v 2 amp regulated power supply as I have a 30 metre extension cord.
Tell you what thou until you get one you don't realise how massive these EQ6's are nearly gave myself a hernia setting it up inside even without the couterweights.
I expect some rock steady viewing with my 2 scopes, finders, camera gear, autoguider etc mounted on it.
