Re: Orion drive – looking for new battery solution

Ingenious and fascinating!

I have only a single axis drive (RA) on my SkyView Pro. I too am thinking of some way around the necessity of using FOUR D cells.

But I wonder, isn't there maybe a (Radio Shack or some other outfit's) "wall wart" type plug-in tranformer that could supply an acceptably constant voltage at 6 VDC?

My only problem with that is that I'd need one of those hefty orange outdoor extension cords to connect it to some house current...
