I was wondering how much current the DDM85 (in my case XL) drwas once it has been parked, like during the day. I used to power off everything after the night, but my remote setup is very position-sensitive to avoid collisions with the roll-off roof, so now I am considering to simply leave everything powered on. What would the motors consume? My guess would be that, a properly balanced telescope should need very little force and so very little power to keep everything fine, or am I wrong here?

Hi there,
I was wondering how much current the DDM85 (in my case XL) drwas once it has been parked, like during the day. I used to power off everything after the night, but my remote setup is very position-sensitive to avoid collisions with the roll-off roof, so now I am considering to simply leave everything powered on. What would the motors consume? My guess would be that, a properly balanced telescope should need very little force and so very little power to keep everything fine, or am I wrong here?
Thanks
