Meade 10" LX850 Pegasus Astro Powerbox Advanced and FocusCube


Meade 10" LX850 Pegasus Astro Powerbox Advanced and FocusCube

I also had a separate mini-project attaching more Pegasus Astro gear (a Powerbox Advanced). Here I 3D printed a bracket to bolt the Powerbox to the top guidescope bracket that comes with the scope. This mod has already seen first light and worked great. The Powerbox takes my camera (USB + power), guide cam (USB), electronic focuser (USB +power), dew strap (variable power), and future filter wheel (USB) and simplifies it to one USB and one 12V power coming off the scope. Only negative I've hit so far is that none of my astro gear works in USB port 1, so while 4 ports would have been perfect I ended up having to add a hub anyway. We'll see if my future QHY268M (assuming it ever arrives) works in that port.
