20250926 Deep sky imaging resumed

First time after the long daylight summer, I tried to use a LiFePO4 battery to power the setup.

But then the deep sky camera will disconnect itself sometimes, turning cooling off does help a bit, but it does not eliminate the problem entirely.  It will disconnect when the mount slews to another target.  A good indicator that there is not enough power.

I know the problem immediately.

I was using a power cable from a cheap solar panel, and the wire is just too thin.  I made the one below with a 12AWG cable, and I hope it solves the problem.

Spent sometime to test it indoor briefly, it works perfectly.

Those thin cables shall be throw away, but the clips should be kept.  

I believe I might need a separate power cable for the cooled camera directly to the battery.
