Is it possible to use an un-interuptable power suppy (like those on computers) with a Synta EQ6?
Or would it be more cost effective to simply use a deep-cycle battery?
get a trickle charger and hook that up to the deep cycle, then run the mount from the battery - if the power fails than it will still be on a battery and work - my planned setup for astrofest
