• First tiny win is that I have enough of the equipment to put it all together, focus on clouds, and then set up the ASiair computer, guide camera and main camera... it all works, it's good.

    Missing some very obvious things though, such as the mount, which means I can't actually set it up for a good few more weeks.

    Also realised how absolutely shoddy the power bank I've purchased is, every component of it is the lowest possible quality. Will need to solve this aspect.

  • Things that need powering:

    • Guide computer
    • Guide camera
    • Camera
    • Auto focuser
    • Dew heater
    • Mount

    All take 5v to 12v each, but unsure how much wattage they are drawing. Will experiment when I get the mount.

    They need power for up to 8h.

    May also need to charge phone and laptop too.

    I did notice my Sharge 100 https://sharge.com/products/storm2 has a 12v DC out, so I might be covered already.

    But yeah the Anker thing looks great. The thing I bought is similar, just wish it had a better build quality.
