It is in the ZWO documentation for the the device to not power mounts. But you know..who reads the documentation? lol

[@JMac85X]

I remember when my parents were mad that stamps were 29 cents

[@georgeshoup4046]

I remember the 6 cent stamp. Came out in 1963. Those were the days my friend. We thought they would never end.
