Recommended for use with motorised and computerised telescopes that require a stable 12V DC current to operate. This power supply will drive small and mid-sized telescopes. It comes with a 1.2m mains UK type power lead with a total reach of around 2.1m.

The ferrite core built round the 12V DC power lead reduces electrical interference and prevents eddy currents from reaching the mount / telescope.

Caution

Please ensure that the power (Watts) required by the equipment connected to any power supply is below the power output rating of the power supply used. This will prolong the life of the equipment and that of the power supply. As a rule of thumb your power supply should be able to supply 25% more power than is required by the device(s) connected to it for best performance.
