Dear All.
Our club (UNENTAS) telescope is an old C14 on a fork mount. The controller for it is not the original and has been built by someone else in the past. Some of it has emitted smoke and its functionality is poor. It only allows 1 speed movements in both directions and this is almost too fast for centering. I would like to build a controller or modify the one on it that will allow for varible speed slewing and autoguiding. To do this I need a pinout for the celestron connector and maybe a schematic. I have searched the web for this but haven't come up with much. Anyone have any suggestions or a controller that I could copy or the pinout?
