Hello again Chris. As I mention in my first post this power supply is ideal for your needs. In all situations you can exceed the output by adding too many items. However I have a Meade LX200 and use a stip dew heater on mine. I just tested its draw with my multi meter and it only draws 0.49 MA.. Very Very Low for the heater only. Not sure what the scope draws, but it would be in the MA Range. You will have plenty of current for your current needs. I would not use the power supply as a charger for batts as it will charge too fast and will not stop once charged. Most Gel cells batts are best charge with a special logic chargers that can be purchased for around $40 at Jaycar Electrical. they also condition the battery and stop plate build up...
Nice talking with you
Mardy
