Celestron NexStar 6/8SE Holder for external DJI Mavic Pro Drone Battery

Description

The AA batteries in the Celestron NexStar 8SE/6SE go-to telescope don't last very long, so I designed this holder to attach a Mavic Pro drone battery for additional power. The rechargeable LiPo 3S Mavic Pro drone battery is rated 3830 mAh, which is about 2X the capacity of 8 AA NiMh cells. My battery holder clips in below the existing hand controller, so the hand controller can be put back in it's usual location. A suitable cable (available on AliExpress for <$5) is additionally needed to attach the Mavic Pro drone battery to the telescope's power input connector. NOTE: Designed to be printed on the side as in the STL file. Internal trusses are included in lieu of using supports; these must be clipped off after printing to fit the battery (much easier than removing supports IMO).
