How do you power this thing?

Power comes from the mount, the cord that connects to the mount. Plug it into the AUX jack and it's set to go. Works great, sets my exact time and location in about 30 seconds.

I plug right into your AUX port on your telescope and gets its power from there.

The aforementioned is correct (the AUX port directly on top of the Alt-Az base). I have a Nexstar 8SE Alt-Az mount. I also have a CG-5 Equatorial of which it is not compatable with. Remember to enable the GPS through the Nexstar menu once the system powers up. You will no longer have to enter time, date, location, etc. Give the system a few moments to triangulate its position. Make sure that you have a clear line of site to the sky so that you can get a good GPS lock.

Joe- it picks up power through the cable attached to your telescope base unit. There is no individual power source for it.

It receives its power from the telescope by way of the AUX connection. The GPS unit itself does not take batteries or have an A/C connection.

Depends on your scope mount type, but usually just plug it in to AUX port on the mount. I can't find your scope model on the Celestron website, but there is one that looks like yours and it does not have the AUX port on the mount. My remote has no AUX port and yours looks the same as mine, the port on the bottom of the remote is for connecting it to a computer, so that won't work for you with the GPS module.But, if you do have an AUX port that has another attachment plugged in, take it out, plug in the GPS module and then plug the one you took out in the front side if the GPS module.

You plug it into the auxiliary port of your celestron telescope. When you power up the scope, it's on. You need to tell the handset to use it in the menu settings.

I plugged my Celestron SkySync GPS directly into the AUX port on my CGEM mount. The red light on the GPS unit should come on once you turn your mount on. You do have to activate it (turn the GPS tracking on) though using the hand remote (menu, utilities, turn on GPS). Also, you need to make sure your hand remote is set for the correct time; standard time or daylight savings time (menu, scope set-up, view time site). Once you do this you should be good to go. Hope this helps.

It's got a power supply with it. I have that plugged into my power strip...

Who knows. You just plug it into a regular 110 outlet. It's a small motor so it can't be that much.

You don't. This is a power splitter with fuses. You ground the item which u are powering.

we bought this from amazon and it came with the power source. you have to have the power source

It just plugs into a regular household outlet.It will have enough power for any project that you may have for it. Rust removal from small articles, sanding, or cutting small pieces of wood

The equipment comes w/ a USB cable. Plug it into anything that holds a USB cable & getting electricity. That will charge it. It doesn't matter. It could be a computer, a power cord w/ a USB outlet, or anything that is plugged in and have a USB outlet. Just look at it like an electrical outlet, where you plug something in to get electricity.

There are two plugs. One goes into the USB port which supplies the power. The other goes into the speaker port. Once you have everything plugged in, make sure you turn on the power button the right side of the speaker.

It requires a power source. You can use a BEC, or a (4) cell NiMH or NiCad battery (4.8v-6v)

the way I wired it was simply power and ground. I wired it to a relay first then a switch. its really basic

Hi Daniel: Mine got broken on first attempt to use it. It looks pretty neat, that's it. As far as I remember it, no, it does not have other way to power it. I think that the only way would be using somehow a 12v battery, or transforming 120v AC to 12v DC.

You use the supplied USB cord and power it up via computer USB port or charging block with USB plug, like apple cube.

Through an audio interface with 48v phantom power. If you don't know how to hook this up I would suggest not to buy it and do a little more research.

Unfortunately you don't unless you have it hooked up to a UPS (uninterruptible power supply). Which in my opinion is over kill.

You can either operate it on battery power or buy one of the voltage reducing cords. I found one that I had in my junk box or go to Radio/Shack buy one, they should have one.

There are 2 power sources. You can either plug in to USB or the wall for it to work.
