Also anyone reccomend a 12v power supply that will handle the Gemini? My Jumpstart battery has kicked it in I think. Its not holding a charge anymore. Can still probably use it as a pass through, ie plug it to mains then power from the 12v outlet. Is 12v enough fro Gemini? How much current does it need?

Hi Fahim
Trevor uses a 12v 5A power supply I built 12 years ago to run everything (transformer type). G11/Gemini1, Telescope and camera.

I got a nice one from Jaycar 12/13.8V 7A for about $100, Not the cheaper switch mode ones.
