Re: Orion drive – looking for new battery solution

Are you asking me or Wildthing?

If you're asking me, I haven't had a chance to really use the battery/regulator combo because of the unbelievably bad weather we've been having in NYC. At home, I’ve been using the combo of the 12v auto adapter and 120AC-to-12v-auto adapter to power the drive whenever the clouds have some holes in them. I thought last night was going to be good but the clouds were out.

The 6V auto adapter seems to keep Jupiter in the eyepiece, and I’d expect the battery to work better because the regulation is better.

Warning! I'm a newbie...I don't know anything!
