By using this plug setup you can make ends for various power supplies without having to pay premium prices to Vixen for their 12v cigarette plug or their AC adapter-- you can use a cheaper generic supply and solder the adapt a plug ends on it.
Hi elektron,
welcome to the forum!
I'm curious as to the performance of your Sphinx Mount, have you tried imaging with the mount?
I was wondering just how good the tracking and pointing software is and if it has PEC (periodic error correction).
Your the only person I have met so far that has the Sphinx mount.

Is it the, Vixen Sphinx SXW Mount MT-SX-2502?

Dennis
