Hitec Astro Dew Controller lead to power AVX mount

[Feral Rabbit]

Hi guys,

Just a quick question. I was bought a HitecAstro Four-Channel, Four-Port Dew Controller for Christmas. As yet I have been unable to get out and try it out but I was just wondering how I can power the AVX mount through this unit as it has X2 12v power outlets. I have tried to Google for the right power lead but as yet I am unable to find anything that relates to the power lead I'm after.

Is there anyone here that has a lead and can direct me in the right direction to purchase one.

Many Thanks

Hi,

I don't see any reason why it would not work, best just try it, it won't hurt anything, just make sure that your power supply is big enough to handle the mount and any dew straps you might use.

I believe it is designed to do that. http://www.firstlightoptics.com/dew-prevention/hitecastro-four-channel-four-port-dew-controller.html

It is, but no one seems to make the power lead. My DIY is truly appalling so making my own is a non starter. I was hoping that someone on here may have one and could point me to where they bought it.

For those wondering

Bernard at Modern Astronomy sells the leads for a tenner. RESULT!!
