Pulsar46 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Hi all, hope I'm doing this right, I'm new to astronomy and just starting out, I'm on my second telescope Meade Starnavigator 102 with those dreaded motor problems, but hey will upgrade as and when I can:) I'm in Merseyside UK, any advice such as powering my telescope without having to buy lots of AA batteries would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laudropb Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Hello and a warm welcome to the SGL. I only use manual telescopes but I believe you would be much better off using a power tank. There a few posts on here which deal with this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
