I have built an alt-az mount for my 12.5" scope. Until recently, it was working in Go-To (but not well). Then suddenly it is off by tens of degrees in Go-To. Tracking is working acceptably well. I've

Battery Recommendations
Josh, Yeah, I suspected there would be a penalty upconverting to 120AC (and then down converting to 19VDC). Good to know there’s a better way. I like how you attached your batteries to your scope. Thi

Hi, I'm new to the group. Just got my 12.5" scope up and running with SiTech in both Drag-N-Track and GOTO modes. Currently using an extension cord and laptop power supply at 18V. I need a good batter
