your old boilermaker mates thank you for this , over the years its save'd many blow'n up mounts ,
.
Its not as scarey as it seem's , just dont over power them
, I read the other day that the new Celestron mounts will happily run on 12 and 24 volts without a problem ,
( its a throw over from the old Meade 18 volt day's ) the extra voltage allows the fast slew speeds to go twice as fast ,, eg. 1052x ? sidereal , Cool .
