Pegasus Powerbox Advance shows amperage draw per few heater output, and total amperage from the power ports, but gives one total wattage draw number. I can't speak to other models, but it's all the same software, so it's probably similar.

Going back through the quotes, I think this is my favorite.

It is a very dim target. I spent 40 hours on it last year, but it was well worth it. I wish you clear skies ahead!

NGC281 - Pacman Nebula HOO - AstroBin
The Pacman Nebula is a very popular target, because it is large enough for a pretty small telescope and relatively bright. I like to challenge myself to see what else there is beyond the bright object...

Processing this requires masking the brightest areas, carefully, then only brightening the faint hydrogen regions. This can only be done with many hours of data. I rarely see the faint hydrogen prominently featured in images of the Pacman Nebula.
