The smaller ETX series of scopes Darren require a 9 volt DC source, the larger series, and the LX series (in fact, almost all scopes above 6" on a GOTO mount) all use a 12 volt DC source. So the powerpack, in this case, would probably 'fry' the little ETX-70 that most people received for Christmas!
