DC Power connectors

Hello,

I'm considering putting together a 12V power junction box for my telescope, so that I can run a single high current cable from a 12V source and then have it fused and distributed to the different bits and bobs at the telescope.

I'm just interested in other people's ideas about suitable DC connectors,bearing in mind the conditions common to amateur astronomy (dew, temperature, movement etc.)

I know some people use RCA connectors, or DC power jacks. Are there any connectors that are more or less suited to this sort of application? I'm guessing that IP67 is overkill.

Tim
