Review on π Skywatcher Optical Telescope Control Serial Converter by Jacolbe Mind
WORKS PROPERLY - Skywatcher EQ6-r Pro
I bought my EQ6-R Pro in December and wanted to connect it for direct PC control without manual control. Found this item at a much better price than anywhere else. Once connected, the laptop found the drivers with no problems. Registered as COM4. With the EQMOD ASCOM HEQ5/6 driver in the AstroPhoto Tool (APT) I can easily connect and control my scope. Tracked the moon for over 5 hours during a lunar eclipse and several other astrophotography projects. Not sure why this cable is 80% cheaper than the 'popular' one, but it gets the job done.
Pros
- USB RJ45 Cable for Skywatecher Telescope Control Cable for EQ6-R AZEQ6 AZEQ5, Mount PC directly to Skywatcher, no hand control box required.
Cons
- Little things
