110 amp hour leisure battery built into a Draper tool box with three plug in sockets, all individually fused with separate isolator switches and a master isolator inside. Being tested with my dew bands. It's not finished yet as I want to put a voltage readout on it and a charging plug.

old stuff stays with me   :evil:

 

I meant as in what are you doing with it, the Tak you have now is a tad excessive for a guide scope if you wanted to go down that route, other than slap a CCD on the new one as well, what you gonna do?

gonna slap a CCD on the new scope as well,  wide field with the 106, and chase smaller stuff with the 130.  gives me FL 1.6m extended

And no 106 will not be a guide scope :o

It's all about the FOV - you dirty visual lot change the FOV with EPs ... imaging you need to change the focal length of the scope and/or the CCD size :)
