In this video we continue learning about some best practices for getting power from your main battery (discussed in the last video linked above), to your various pieces of astrophotography equipment. The goal is to simplify cable management and allow for only one power cable to run up to the scope at which point the power passes through a fuse-box and is the distributed to the different devices. I reccomend permanently mounting the fuse-box to the scope to make setting up the rig super simple.
We also discuss choosing the right wire size, fuse size, and how to easily add remote power control into the system with a relay controller similar to the one discussed in this video: • Arduino Relay Power Co...
In Part III of this series we are going to take a closer look at both my observatory and backyard setups and how I handle power management in those instances!
In a later series we are going to tackle the challenge of how to handle data management without running 10 USB cables to your telescope.
