We use the Nevada PS-08 PSU here at FLO and at Star Parties and are happy with it's performance. It provides 6A continuous output (8A surge) so can power a number of devices simultaneously and it delivers a good clean regulated DC signal so you won't suffer from the handset/alignment glitches associated with budget power supplies.

Bought to replace a cheaper power unit as the fan was starting to make a noise so opted for the Nevada unit, I’m impressed small solid heavy unit unlike my previous unit , no fan in this just a solid heatsink on the rear , installed in the shedservatory , nice length of power cord easy to connect wire to terminals , can monitor amp gauge to see what power is being drawn ,also has a spare 12v car type socket should I need more power , for the price this is definitely worth the money would highly recommend .

The Nevada was recommended to me by FLO to power my EQ6R Pro. It works fine with no problems encountered. It is quite heavy and has an open construction, so needs protecting from rain and dew.
Great power supply - suddenly my gotos are very accurate Monday, 23 November 2020 | Gary
Fits well in my observatory. I replaced a heavy duty battery pack with this unit and my gotos are really accurate now for some reason ! Excellent product ! Well made and looks professional too.

As I am fortunate to have built my own observatory, and as my power tank was playing up, I wanted a permanent device to power my HitecAstro four-channel, four-port Dew Controller. The controller does not have a mains plug, just the cigarette lighter type, and I wanted something that could have a continuous power supply to my device.
This is a well built piece of kit and perfect for my needs and very reasonably priced.

Only used it a couple of times to power my CGX mount with 25cm f6.3 Newtonian which is an unwieldy beast. Using my old power supply the mount tended to be noisy and sluggish, so far the Nevada has had power to spare, the motors seem quiet with an even tone, the handset is brighter and doesn't glitch, and the CGX responds quickly to changes in direction with the RA/DEc buttons. So far so good, next step guiding imaging when conditions allow
Great small unit for supplying mount Tuesday, 29 October 2019 | Lee
I have this using 5m LynxAstro power cables to my AZ-EQ6 GT Pro mount and one dew heater. This utilises both the cigarette lighter socket and ring tongues and I've not noticed any problems, with total current draw within the individual and total ratings for the supply. With additional equipment I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one of these units to split out the load.
Nevada PS-08 6-8A Regulated Linear Power Supply Friday, 9 November 2018 | Paul
Purchased this to supply power to my eq5 goto mount and dew control system instead of using my battery pack. Works great. No more worrying about battery pack running down.
Great 12V supply at a great price Wednesday, 28 March 2018 | Steve
Just as the title a nice 12V power supply that will happily supply all your needs up to 5A which I think is ample for most setups. I say 5A because that is what the cigarette lighter socket is rated at. The power supply is rated at 6A (8A Surge) but to get that extra 1A means connecting to the terminals whereas the socket is much handier setup and personally do not like running supplies to their maximum rated output as I think it shortens their life (my personal opinion as an electronics engineer). It is heavy and really I would not recommend for use outdoors but great for use in an observatory or skylight setup.

It has one function and it does it very well. It feels solid and capable and so far it has worked flawlessly.
This type of unit is not that commonly available in terms of other suppliers. I had to search out various hobbyist retailers to get something similar. FLO's price is very competitive as well.

Delivered promptly, solid piece of equipment which works well although will need boxing in / handle to protect and make easier to carry to scope site
