Jerome, I highly recommend that you look into the various Pegasus Astro Powerboxes. I think you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for. I have two Pegasus Astro products – their 6 port

I have the Pegasus UPB v2 and the Advance Gen 2. Both are great, but I personally prefer the Advance more for my portable usecases given its form factor. The UPB v2 is larger and has more ports but I

Hello, I have been trying to clean up the wiring that runs through my Mach1 because it is a mess and second I have a new pier that is crimping my space below the Mach1. Ideally I would like to run

Tony, Here’s what I have for my AP Stowaway… Baader 80mm AstroSolar ASTF Filter, fits 100-140mm OD (ASTF-80) Works very well! So do you allow on site camping? 🤣🤣🤣 Pete

I’ve had good experiences with Thousand Oaks filters. They stay in place well.

For the last eclipse we had Baader solar filters available. We had them for the 92 also because I brought one of those scopes to the eclipse in Montana. We will have the same for the next big

Hello Roland Just wondering if you will have a solar filter available like the ones you have for the 130GT/X that was available prior to the 2017 Total Solar? Those are excellent. With the April

I am using two Jackery batteries, which are light weight and have 12V regulated output (fixed voltage). I have two. One with 300 Wh and with 500 Wh. I use one af a time to run my mount, camera, dew

Thanks I bought the grease kit before actually opening the gear box, figuring that the previous owner might have New Mexico’s talcum powder size dust buildup inside. (His observatory was in one of

Steve, I am not an expert, but if you have very little to no play in dec and ra, and your mount is performing well, you can rest assured that you have done well. Your insecurity is

I ordered my re-greasing kit. As soon as it arrives I will apply the grease. After the recent adjustment in my dec gear mesh, the mount is tracking better than before for sure. It seemed that

The battery monitor I have now is shunt type, so it basically counts watt-hours, which I think is what the Victron does as well for SOC, but it's all wired into the battery box so inconvenient to test

Something I don't have to worry about living in Sydney Australia, but as you mentioned Canada, the BMS should have protection against charging at very low temperatures (I think below 0 deg C is the

None of the options I've seen for decent LiFePO4 batteries are cheap. I bought mine from Lynac at what I thought was a reasonable price but I'm in Canada and so are they. They have a 150Ah but I'm
