  1. Hey guys, Well I just joined the EQ6R-Pro club. At the bottom is what I had been using .. an original Bill Schaefer built GEM with 9" Buyers gear that I restored/rebuilt 20 years ago when I was building Schaefer mounts at Astro-Track Engineering in California. The mount just got to be too heavy to move around .. so I gave up astronomy and its turned into a living room decoration ever since. So now that I'm retired I've gotten the astrophotography bug again and happened across the Sky-Watcher brand. I took delivery of the mount, an ED100 Pro refractor, and a Quattro 8 a week ago, a MUCH lighter and easier to move rig. It has all yet to see first light as the weather of course turned cloudy and rainy the day it came lol. So for field use I'm set up with battery power, but for practicing here at home I need an AC adapter for the mount. I emailed Sky-Watcher USA and one of their reps mentioned this one from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Schumacher-PC-6-120AC-Power-Converter/dp/B0012BL8LG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1543806572&sr=8-3&keywords=120v+to+12v+converter I'm not real strong in electronics being a former machinist, could you guys check this adapter and see what you think? Thanks! Chris
