JOhn came over today & sorted out what was wrong with my power.

When John tested the cable I was using for the mount, he found it was erratic. The problem with the SX not working with battery power, was, a fuse had gone in the cigar connector.
   

I now know why my 300 sec images were no good, last night & the scope was all dewed up. The dew strip cable has completely snapped off.
 

I have mailed Bern to see what he thinks.

Hopefully this will be the end of it.

It is healthier to be mutton dressed as lamb, than mutton dressed as mutton!

Sorry for the late reply - yes but then I think you've already figured that out ;)
