Equipment has been drip feeding to complete a build. I’m currently testing powering the Pi4 and the ZWO camera via a SkyWatch 17mAh PowerTank. I am hoping that this would allow me to run the All Sky camera for a whole night without needing mains power.

Items I have:

• CCTV clear dome
• Some Steel brackets
• Various M3, M4, M6 Nuts and bolts
• A 12V –> 5V 3A USB power converter
• Various Cables
• Pi4 4GB
• ZWO ASI120MC-S
• Cigarette Lighter 12V Power plug & cable

Items I’m waiting on:

• PVC Junction Box (hopefully arriving today)
• Power Connector Strips (collecting later)
• Holesaw Kit for my drill (collecting later)
• Cable Glands for sealing the power lead (arriving tomorrow)

Hope to get an initial build done over the weekend..

Some initial test show that:

• Current ambient temperatures allow for enclosed operation without the need for any additional cooling.
• The PowerTank can probably last 24 hours without needing a recharge.

Just one hole so far needed into the junction box. Hopefully the last one.
