Skywatcher Focus Motor Handset mod

[centroid]

No more PP3 batteries 🙂

I have removed the battery connector from the handset, and replaced it with a 5.5 2.1 DC power socket, to which I connect a 9V DC 500mA Regulated plug top PSU.

I should add that the handset is not used adjacent to the scope, but via a 5m cable from the summer house, out to the Pier.

I have up to seven SW motors on my solar gear.

The handcontrollers sit on the office desk. I’ve thought of adding a similar power source but haven’t needed to change batteries in the last three years!!!!
