Hi,

I was wondering where to purchase an extension cable for the hand controller for the EQ6 skyscan?

After freezing out in the cold many nights (2 x jacket, 2 x beanie, 2 x pants, gloves the works) especially last night, I want to do abit of astrophotography indoors instead.

Thanks.

can make your own with some cat5e network cable and the rj connectors. go to yhe eq6 yahoo user group site http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EQ6/ andd look for the handbox cable configuration diagram http://f5.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/wBJDRI2jCapBXekeU9VWmBhMVbCsvHc3ApF AFhCTEuY3ZFvKiKwhLsi3yqojAPfM_gzLMQ 45LbWAE9HtAT_HCSEVM5o/EQ6%20Cable%20Diagrams%202006.pdf note there can be loss of signal if the cable is too long.
