Pickup available at Khan Scope Centre

If you want to power the PrimaLuce EAGLE, which powers your mount, camera and other astronomy devices, and use it from a fixed station such as an observatory, you can connect it with this AC adapter power supply. This 12.8V 14A power supply (compatible with 100 to 240V) comes with a 2.5 meter extension cable and EU (Schuko), UK and USA plugs. When used with the included extension, the entire power unit cable is 5 meters long.
The 14A version has a slightly higher voltage (12.8V instead of the standard 12V) because when you power several accessories with high power consumption from the EAGLE, you can see a small tension drop, however, with the 12.8V power supply, you'll still be just above 12V.
Let's see an example, considering maximum power consumption for every element connected and powered to the EAGLE:
- EAGLE: maximum power consumption 1A (average power consumption: 0.6A)
- Cooled camera: maximum power consumption 4A (average power consumption: 3A)
- SkyWatcher AZ-EQ6 SynScan mount: maximum power consumption 3A (average power consumption: 1A)
- Guide camera QHY5L-II mono: power consumption 0 (powered from EAGLE USB port)
- Dew heater: power consumption 1A (powered from EAGLE dew heater port)
Total maximum power consumption: 9A. For this system, on one with a similar max power consumption, the 14A is recommended.
