Q: 1. Does the above Celestron Power Tank come with the cord I need to plug it into the power supply and my Meade Telescope? Or do I need something else to use this power supply? Celestron Power Tank (12-Volt, 7-Amp Power Supply, 110/220V)

A: The Celestron Power Tank comes with a 12 V D/C cord to power a Celestron telescope. That's all I can tell you - I know nothing about a Meade Telescope, or any other telescopes for that matter. Good Luck!

Q: 2. Does this use an LED bulb?

A: The small light on top (with the red cap) is a small, relatively dim, incandescent bulb with a yellowish tint (unless you have the red cap on, which makes it red). The bottom larger light contains 30 white LEDs and is pretty bright. It doesn't compare to a nice CREE flashlight or anything, but the beam is bright and wide.

Q: 3. What is the Ah rating of the battery?

A: Ah is the amp-hour rating for this 12 volt batery. It's rated 7 Ah which gives you an idea of its max capacity.So, you will need to make sure that you use it for loads that draw under this 7 amp level.So a good rule of thumb is to cut the rating in half. For this battery, you divide the 7 in half and get 3.5 amps. This means that you an charge or operate a device that is 3.5 amps for 2 hours.Or, more realistically, you can charge or operate a device that draws say 0.5 amps for 7 hours., (0.5ampsx7 hrs= 3.5amps). Get the idea? I was using this to operate my smaller telescope mounts that drew about 0.2 amps. This allowed many hours without worries of power outage. But more recently, I bought a larger mount that draws 0.3 amps during normal tracking, but up to 4 amps for fast speed slowing. After about 2 hours I was getting power interrupts. This really was bad for my long exposure photography that requires 3-5 hours for continual tracking.Anyway, hope this helps you understand Ah ratings. Regards,Dino

Q: 7. What can i see with this?, my other telescope is a 40$ scope and i can barely focus on the moon with it. is this able to view stars easy with faint village sized community lights?

A: So it really depends on your sky and the clarity. This is a great scope for the price point. I would recommend not using this where there are street lights. The image will be fuzzy, and distorted.
