Powering HEQ5 Syntrek and CCD

[edjrgibbs]

HI

Some advice needed. I have an HEQ5 syntrek and have just bought a Brightstar Mammut CCD cam. For the CCD cooling there is a cigar socket for connecting to a 12v power supply. If I get a splitter like this one:

Can I connect both my mount and camera to my 12v power supply:

Any advice welcome.

Thanks
