Is it OK to plug the celestron aux splitter into the hand controller aux port ? I want to add the WiFi module and plugging even the splitter into the aux port on the base of the mount seems too close for comfort..

I just got my new nexstar 8se a few days ago and was wondering what's the best / safest way to store it when not in use ...
At the moment I have left it all put together with the OTA attached and pointing slightly upward with a nice large dust cover over the top...
Is it recommended to remove the OTA and store it a different way ? Or is it absolutely fine to leave it all built ? I'd rather leave it built to be honest as I can easily just pick it up and take it outside when the weather is good...
My brain was just ticking along thinking it might put unwanted strain on the mount / gears or motors

Thanks all for the replys and advice..
I've entered both telescope details into the astrotools site and it looks like I would get approx double the magnification with the 6se over the 130p .
Does this look right ?
I thought one of the replys stated I wouldn't see much more magnification on the 6se..
Thanks
Thank you Loius for that detailed explanation, that has certainly cleared things up a bit for me ...
So many factors to take into account

Hello , I'm looking for my next telscope after 1 year of using a skywatcher explorer 130p .
I'm looking at the celestron nexstar 6se for the goto and tracking functions plus maybe a bit of planetry photography and hopefully some better views than the 130p I've been using ..
Will I see clearer images and have more magnification with the 6se ? , my basic understanding is I'll have more magnification but not sure what to expect...
Or am I better off with something else for the money ? Bearing in mind I do want goto/tracking and a little astrophotography..
12v Power supply question

Power supply question for you clever people...
I am by no means clever when it comes to electronics ect, so for those who know about this stuff.....
I have this power supply and was just looking at the specs on the product page and I'm a little concerned that in the description it mentions 12.5v and the asiair and my gti mount state they need just 12v...

Should / could I use this safely to power my asiair mini ? Or my star adventurer gti ? Which both state 12v
