Hi guys, been out of the game for a while but I just picked up an HEQ5 so I can start imaging again. I was intending on just using the hand controller and no guiding cause I figure I can get ok results with that setup for short focal lengths.
Issue is though, the hand controller has never been updated it seems and doesn't have the polar align option in the alignment menu. I use my laptop for image capture anyway so, is there a cable I can buy to just bypass the hand controller and go direct from pc-mount? On my old NEQ6 it was just a plain old rs-232 to USB, but the HEQ5 hasn't got rs-232.. so do you need a controller box or something or can you use just a straight cable? I figure if I have to buy a cable to upgrade the handset anyway, I might as well just get a cable to go direct from the pc to the mount.

Otherwise, someone that is located northside brisbane that has the ability to upgrade the handset for me would be appreciated?

Thanks, Tim
