Do you attach the Quark\u2019s battery pack to the telescope, or do you pull the cable out when you rotate it to connect it? With a Quark USB extension cable, you bridge the distance between your DayStar Quark and the power source. This allows the battery to be placed on the ground or on a table away from the moving parts of your setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Especially on a mount that follows the sun, a longer cable is convenient because the cable does not pull on the Quark while the telescope rotates. This applies, for example, to an equatorial mounting<\/a> with tracking motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lay the cable with a wide loop along the mounting and secure it with a Velcro strap so that there is no tension on the connection. After positioning, check again to ensure that the cable cannot get caught anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a power source, you can use an accumulator pack with a USB output, such as the Celestron PowerTank Lithium LT<\/a>, Provided that it provides enough power.
