Keywords Keeping up the tradition, I present now 9 years of imaging Saturn at opposition, displaying the Seeliger Effect or Opposition surge well. The rings appear much whiter and brighter when at opposition due either to coherent backscatter, or ring particle 's
In an effort to reduce the jumble of wires under my tripod, I built this portable power center. It is designed to power both DC and AC equipment and adapters at the scope, allowing for maximum flexibility. The assembly includes a heavy-duty AC power strip (Yellow Jacket brand), two 3 amp Radio Shack DC power supplies, a wooden base, and rubber feet. If I have AC power available this baby will take care of all my power needs. I shortened the cords of the two power supplies so there is NO extra cord. While I had the units open I bolted the lids to the base of the AC power strip. After reassembly I prepared a wood base with rubber feet and glued the two power supplies with the power strip on top to it. I used GOOP cement, my favorite stuff! I might add socket covers for the unused outlets in the power strip, and perhaps a GFCI. I have two T-splitters for the cigarette lighter sockets, giving me four sockets total. But with only 3 amps from each power supply one needs to keep an eye on the DC loads. A unit like this could easily be built up with bigger DC power supplies, or a single larger one, but those units are hard to find with cigarette lighter sockets in them. I didn't want to cut the lighter plugs off my equipment to accomodate the screw terminals.
