Well I ended up buying a Celestron 8" SCT. Turns out a work colleague is a keen astronomer and he had it for sale. Surplus to requirements. I just need to look at the power switch. It worked OK when he showed it to me yesterday but now when you switch it on the LED flashes and the motor doesn't turn on. I fear I may have damaged the switch when I packed it in the car to bring it home today. It's got the RA clock drive but no Dec drive. Anyone out there have one they want to sell? From the Celestron catalogue it's a "DEC Motor for Celestar 8, Ultima 91/4 & 11 Part # 93549"

I'm also wondering, what size plug is the 12V DC adapter have, and is it +outer or +inner?

Thanks
