Laptop to mount direct connection

[Andre27]

Good Day all
I want to buy one of these 'D9 SynScan/ SynTrek Handset Port EQDirect"
to do away with my hand controller , could someone please suggest a retailer that would ship to South Africa , the sites I tried in Europe do not ship to South Africa.

Thank you

Andre

Hi Andre,

Do you mean the EQDIR cable for the Skywatcher mounts (HEQ5, AZ-EQ6 or EQ6)?

You could try Bintel... I bought the AZ-EQ6 cable a few months ago and it works perfectly.

Note: If you have an AZ-EQ6, then it uses the same cable as the HEQ5.

Cheers,
Mark

I bought mine direct from Shoestring Astronomy, perhaps they'll ship to South Africa:
