3 Getting to know your camera
3.1 Camera Ports
Aux Power – 2.1mm center positive socket, for external devices (Max 2A)
USB hub – For connecting accessories like guiders, focusers, etc.
USB port – For connecting to the computer.
DC in – For powering the camera (2.1mm center positive)
The USB hub is capable of powering a USB 2.0 class device, like a small
guider camera, so that cables are kept to a minimum. Aux power can be used
to power a 12V DC device, like a guide camera or a focuser/rotator, so that
you can have only 2 cables for your entire system.
WARNING:
Make sure that the total current drawn on the Aux port does not
exceed 2 Amps!
