Review on Telescopes Equatorial Mount Control Cable For Skywatcher HEQ5Pro AZEQ5 AZEQ6 EQ6-R Support EQMOD ASCOM Set Up Sofware Manual Download Support Windows 10 Android (6Ft/180Cm by David Carmody

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A third-party cable in case the first one lets you down.

This greatly reduces cable clutter since no hand controller had to be connected. (since I have to use my laptop for autoguiding anyway) This is much better than the serial to USB conversion you have to use with Atlas Pro. This involves connecting 2 wires together, increasing the chances of wire damage ruining a very precious clear night. (Besides, why does the $2,000 bracket still have a serial cable in 2020?)

Pros
  • New Geniune FTDI chip. Support for all Windows, Android, Mac OS, Vista
Cons
  • functionality
