This Universal 12V 5A Power Adapter supplies reliable DC power to telescope mounts, an easy way to run an EQ or GoTo mount from mains power instead of draining batteries. Many computerized mounts need a steady 12-volt supply to track and slew accurately, and this adapter delivers up to 5 amps of clean, stable current.

Running a mount from a wall adapter avoids the mid-session power drop-outs that can interrupt tracking and GoTo alignment.

Who it's for

Astronomers who want to power an EQ or GoTo mount from mains rather than batteries during long observing or imaging sessions. New to gear? See our roundup of telescope accessories every beginner needs.

Frequently asked questions

Will this work with my mount?
It supplies standard 12V DC up to 5A, which suits most EQ and GoTo mounts; check your mount's required voltage, current, and plug/polarity before use.

Why use mains power instead of batteries?
A steady mains supply avoids the voltage drops that interrupt tracking and GoTo alignment during long sessions.

Is 5A enough?
Yes, 5A comfortably covers most mounts; higher-draw setups with heaters or accessories should confirm total current needs.

Can I use it for imaging sessions?
Yes, stable power is especially helpful for long astrophotography sessions where reliability matters.
