I thought you were using 18650 batteries. Four of those in series will power the motor.
There are Seagull magnifying right angled eyepieces that also work on D3. I have one in Spain. Great for macro work.

Have just looked, it consists of two pairs of 18650 batteries, the way I have configured it it's entirely possible to add another socket for the Equatorial mount, which can be switched from the current limited UV LED outlet to a separate outlet which could be unrestricted.
I will check out the link you have given me. I could do with one for close up work with the D800 anyway. It can be hard to get one's head in the position needed when the camera is on a stand. Not a great fan of live view if I can avoid it.
