Fred, I have two portable power packs for my celestron cpc telescope, so I'm good for a few nights. Also, I have a 16” Dobson telescope that I made myself, yes mirror and all, so minimun of power there, just power pack to run dew heaters.
Since I already have a 75w solar panel I think I'll add another 75w that will give me a total of 150 watts. Should be fine?
Doug, adding another battery sounds good to me, could you suggest make and model?
I think any pair of 6 volt GC's will do fine. I'd look around for the lowest price you can find. Mine are no-name 7 or 8 years old and still doing fine (they'll last me 4 days without sun). I think any will do fine; but I'm sure there are going to be plenty of this brand / that brand opinions.
Doug
