Yes — you can use a power bank to power your NOMAD star tracker, and you *can charge it and* run it at the same time. This makes external battery packs very handy for long night‑shooting sessions.
🔌 Powering NOMAD with a Power Bank
NOMAD Star Tracker accepts 5 V power input (USB‑C).
Note: Some users use a regular wall adapter (USB-A output) to charge NOMAD. In that case:
- The adapter output must be 5 V, 1–2 A
- The charging cable should have USB-A on the adapter side and USB-C on the NOMAD side.
