  • Software Bisque Paramount ME II/MX/MX+/MYT External Power Cable Set (Generic)

    This generic External Power Cable Set for Software Bisque Paramount mounts provides a clean, integrated solution for powering your imaging accessories. It leverages the mount's internal wiring to deliver 12V DC power directly to the instrument panel, offering two separate leads rated for up to 3A and 5A respectively to handle cameras, dew heaters, or focusers without external cable snags.

    Streamline Cable Management with 12V Through-the-Mount Power

    Cable drag is a primary source of tracking errors and equipment damage in automated imaging setups. This power cable set solves that problem by using the Paramount's built-in auxiliary power ports. You supply external 12V DC power to the port at the base of the mount, and these cables allow you to tap into that power at the instrument panel, right next to your telescope and camera.

    By eliminating loose power cords that would otherwise wrap around the mount during a meridian flip or long imaging sequence, your entire setup becomes more reliable. The dual-lead design provides flexibility, with a 5A connection for higher-draw devices and a 3A connection for less demanding accessories, ensuring your equipment receives stable power throughout the night.

  • What is the purpose of the Paramount External Power Cable Set?

    The primary purpose of this cable set is to simplify cable management by allowing you to power 12V accessories (like cameras, dew heaters, or electronic focusers) using your Paramount mount's internal wiring. This prevents external cables from snagging, wrapping, or causing tracking errors as the mount moves.

    Can I use this cable set to power my camera and a dew heater on my Paramount MYT?

    Yes, this is an ideal use case. The set provides two 12V outputs, one rated for a maximum of 5A and another for 3A. You should verify the power requirements of your specific camera and dew heater to ensure their combined amperage does not exceed the ports' capacity. This setup is sufficient for many common imaging accessories.

    What are the maximum amperage ratings for the two leads in this Paramount cable set?

    The cable set includes two separate leads with different ratings to accommodate various accessories:

    • Lead 1: Up to 5A maximum at 12V DC
    • Lead 2: Up to 3A maximum at 12V DC

    Which Software Bisque Paramount mounts are compatible with this generic power cable set?

    This cable set is designed to work with the auxiliary power ports found on the Software Bisque Paramount ME II, MX, MX+, and MYT models.

    How does this cable set help when my Paramount MX+ is imaging the Orion Nebula (M42)?

    As your Paramount MX+ tracks M42 across the sky, it will eventually perform a meridian flip. During this complex rotation, external cables can easily get caught or tangled. By routing power through the mount with this cable set, your power cords move with the telescope, dramatically reducing the risk of a snag ruining your exposure or damaging your gear.

    Do I need a separate 12V power supply to use this Paramount cable set?

    Yes. This cable set allows you to access power from the mount's instrument panel, but it does not generate power. You must connect a separate 12V DC power supply to the "Aux Power In" port located at the base of your Paramount mount to energize the internal wiring.
