[quote=thesti2 post_id=139876 time=1694014074 user_id=64262] btw, I found this battery as well: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005705161158.html I read the spec, it does says 12v output with max 5A. seems legit, cheap and more portable. Anyone has experience with this kind of battery? [/quote] ...

[quote=thesti2 post_id=139875 time=1694013211 user_id=64262] I bought the same power station as this one, it does come with the cigarette lighter cable. For the other DC cable, is it like this one? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005590279925.html Btw, does usually a mount comes with that chargi...

If you want fuss-free solution, best to get the 12V DC battery from our local astro vendors like Astro Scientific or McGill. However, if you’re more adventurous, you can check out shops in Sim Lim Towers (not Sim Lim Square). However, these may not be wired with the right connectors and you may need...

The power station comes with a cigarette lighter to DC5.5/2.1mm plug, which is the type of plug that goes into the zwo 533mc pro. The power station also has two other DC 5.5/2.1mm sockets that you could use to power your mount and ASIAir. But if you do get an ASIAir, it does come with the DC power c...

I use the power station (below) which I bought on Aliexpress. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005051822455.html It costs S$300 for 300Wh of energy, and is able to supply power at 220 VAC (pure sine wave), 12V DC as well as various 5V USB-A and 5-20V USB-C. This is more than enough for a couple o...

Mount taken. Thanks.

I tried connecting it to the PC via the USB cable a couple of weeks ago. The PC no longer recognises it. Hand controller is stuck at the initialisation screen and beeps continuously every 1/2 seconds. That’s why I’m surrendering it to whoever is able to give it a try - and perhaps succeed, or at lea...

You can, though prefer if it’s collected asap. Need to clear the space at home .

I have an old iOptron Minitower Pro computerised Alt-Az mount to give away to anyone who might want to try to repair it or salvage for spare parts. Includes everything in the original kit, including mount head, 1.5” tripod, 8401 hand controller, 4.2kg counterweight (compatible with newer iOptron mou...

Don’t know if this is off-topic, but thought I’d let fellow Nexstar/Evolution mount users know that Amazon.sg is selling the equatorial wedge, which normally retails at over US$380 for a mere S$163. I just bought one, 3 left in stock. https://www.amazon.sg/dp/B018T2D2BY?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_de...
