While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

Hi,
What is the "wattage" rating of a 10" LX200? I have a power supply.
Specs-----
internal battery voltage= 12 volts DC
capacity=21 amp-hours

inverter
AC output=115 volts ac
continuous AC output power=300 watts

What can I except for time frame useing this with the scope? I set it up
inside and after 1/2 hour it's below 1/2 charge. only did a few dummy
goto's and left it tracking.

So did I waste my money? Or any other thoughts?

Thanks

p.s. it's a NOMAD 300 Series from
