Ok cool. Thanks for your help it’s much appreciated 👍

Hi thanks for the reply. I should have been a bit clearer. the main purpose for this would be to run the scope. The charger would only be used for the iPad as a back up as the iPad would be fully charged prior to using and the dslr uses its own separate battery. sorry I’m a complete novice with these power chargers and from what I can tell it’s more to do with the ampage output? I saw this one where it says “6a max” on the 12v outlet would this be better?

Hi Firstly sorry if this is the wrong chat for this question. I regularly power my scope from the back garden with a power lead but with local light pollution I’m looking to venture out further afield so I will need (in my best Jeremy Clackson voice) “POWER” I have a celestron nexstar 127 slt and I’m looking to get a celestron sky portal Wi-Fi module soon (or similar but that will be another question later on lol) and to run an iPad for 4-5 hours viewing with a dslr. I have seen this on Amazon and wondered if this would power what I want it to do? Or is it overkill? I’m guessing overkill is better than not enough lol TalentCell PB240A1 Rechargeable 22400mAh 82.88Wh Lithium ion Battery Pack with 3 Port Output (DC 24/12V and 5V USB) for LED Light Strip, CCTV Camera, Mobile and More https://amzn.eu/d/1w5R2Cy Thanks for your time 😀

Hi thanks for commenting. Yeah I am going to try this in a hour or 2 time by pointing at Polaris. being new to all this a forgot Polaris will not need to be tracked but I will still use the mount to move around and line up as my cheap camera tripod is awful when it comes to small adjustments. but if I decide to track something else in the future was the mount juddery when you made that video bagginsies? thanks again

Oh I forgot to add the only problem I have connecting at the moment to the mount is the fact the camera is 90 degrees off lol

Hi sorry if this is the wrong chat. I have a celestron nexstar slt mount and was wondering if anyone has used this mount to directly mount a dslr camera without the scope? I have managed to get the camera connected to the mount but as of yet not tried it outside to image. do any of you think that aligning with Polaris to get startrails the mount will be to jolty? any hints or tips will be greatly received thanks
