Andrew, I would be very cautious about using cigarette lighter outlets and connectors. There are many previous posts here on IIS bemoaning their poor reliability, especially in cold and wet/dewy conditions when observing/imaging. A few extra dollars spent on better connectors will pay off in the long run. Merit plugs are the next step in quality and reliability, but perhaps the best options are Anderson Plugs. I would recommend you spend some time getting a clear picture of what connectors system will be best for your use and particularly the operating conditions. These need to be 100% reliable.
