catman161 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hi guys, does anybody know which power supply cable ending in a male cigarette lighter socket is needed for the skywatcher supatrak alt Az mount? I assume it is the regular skywatcher cable that I've found on astronomiser. I just don't wanna recommend it to my dad if its wrong! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I just used a 5A cigarette cable with a 2.1mm end, which was tip positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red dwalf Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Micks right Felix, i had the 130p supatrak, great little scope. the battery pack that comes with it doesn`t last that long so i bought a mains adapter for it, maplins sell them, mains plug one end that ends with a female cigar adapter at the other.

Antares_Paul Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 North Devon is my favourite place in the world. I'd love to catch the Milky Way dropping to the horizon from the high land above Woolacombe with Lundy Island as a back drop. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 That's where I grew up Paul some of my best memories from north Devon. I remember some stonking nights at marisco disco in woolacombe and pints at the red barn-those were the days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares_Paul Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The month of May can never come quick enough for me. I annually have a weeks cycling in the area. The climb out of Lee is EPIC and the drop into Ilfracombe (B3230) equally so. I will retire down there come the time ... Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I lived in sterridge valley just outside berrynarbor and then also lived in Combe Martin. Frequented lee and ilfracombe alot. Lee is beautiful little beach. Ill never forget finding a pipefish in a rock pool there when I was about 7 year old. I like to retire there when the time comes too.
