There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
This adapter provides a steady stream of power ALL night long and after using it a few times I really appreciate it. The Orion nebula comes over the horizon at my location EARLY in morning at this time of the year so it makes it all the more likely my setup will be fully functional when it does come into view. I love it! But I still want a 12V car adapter plug for dark sites away from 120V outlets.
Multiple wall plug converter
Powerful enough for the requirement
Any drawback would be having to connect it to an electrical cord and make sure you don't trip over it, but that's a minor problem. I'd definiately recommend this to anyone with a 'scope.
