Celestron AC adapter

The AC adapter works perfectly with the CGX mount. The extension supplied with the adapter makes it even more useful.

Exactly what I expected. Works as advertised. More convenient for me to use an outlet than batteries.

Must-have

For the backyard astronomer, nothing beats plugging your mount into a reliable source of power. This AC adapter is just what I needed, at a thoroughly reasonable price.

AVX Power

With the current draw of the Celestron AVX mount, this 5amp pack is needed. The connector works fine on the mount.

Did what it was supposed to

Not much to say, it powered my mount like it was supposed to. It also worked well on my NexStar 8SE mount. If you are buying one Celestron power accessory, get this one rated at 5A instead of the cheaper on rated for 3A. The mount will only draw what it needs, but better to have too much power than too little with a GoTo mount (they get quirky if under powered).

AC adaptor

If you have AC available , you need this for the advanced VX scope. with a full 5amps this will move the scope with ease.

Great Investment

If you own or bought a VX mount or larger. I highly recommend this this power supply. This was probably best investment since the VX mount uses a lot of power and this is the power adapter that will get the job done.

Great for when AC power is available

I am usually viewing/imaging from my backyard, so I use this with a long extension cable. The lock nut makes for a secure connection on my Advanced VX mount (although while screwing in you have to make sure the AVX's port doesn't rotate). Works well.

Nice Piece

It´s enough power to use my Celestron Advanced VX. As other electric accesories need to keep dry and prevent power cord to over blend.

Good AC Power Supply

I've used the 2.5W Celestron Power supply in the past for my Nexstar 8 and it worked great. I upgraded to a 11" DX Edge scope which was working fine with the smaller power supply but thought it prudent to get the one recommended for the scope and mount. It arrived quickly and is working great. Really like the ability to screw the power port into the mount which ensures no more disconnected power cords.

The only thing was that it is a bit heavy to move around

Much easier than using a car battery!

I do most observing within 100 feet of power outlets. This adapter is enormously easier to use than a heavy car battery. Works perfectly with my Advanced VX mount.

Works great!

Essential in my opinion for the CGEM mount. It threads onto the mount so that it doesn't work it's way loose while slewing around the night's sky. Worth every penny, but honestly, it should have come with the mount instead of the DC power adapter. But that's just my (no so) humble opinion. Clear Skies
