I hope I can get a couple of years out of it before upgrading. Having just bought an HEQ5, dew controller and straps I can't really afford to spend much more right now unfortunately!

Thanks for the replies everyone, really helpful 😊I’m going to buy a jump starter for now and one day upgrade to a leisure battery with an inverter i think Nick

Hey everyone So I'm now the proud owner of an HEQ5 and Skywatcher 72ED, once Santa has been I'll also have a couple of dew straps and controller. My question is, what do you guys use to power your equipment? I'm looking for something fairly inexpensive. I don't like the idea of a dew covered extension cabled plugged into my garage, is this what other people do? I have a 13amp plug for my mount and my laptop, and I will have a 12v cable for my dew controller. I've looked into the Celestron PowerTank but that doesn't have anywhere to plug my mount or laptop in. I've also looked at a car jump starter as I've found one with a 13A plug and 12v outputs, again not sure if this is ideal as I know plenty of people don't recommend lead acid batteries. Thanks Nick
