Thanks guys, I'd actually already read those post BTW and am deciding if I should build my own parallel port connector. At the moment I'm unsure if you need to send both of power and ground to the mount, or enither if its a PC directing it. Also I need to understand if these pins can be directly connected or if any signal or curren t / voltage conversion is needed. Has anyone bought and used one of shoestring's adapters - especially the parallel port one?
I'm a bit dissappointed Celestron don't advertise what autoguider brands will work with there mount. Given my PC is a fair way away from the scope I'd prefer to avoid USB cabling and go for a dedicated device, but I don't what to go to the high end S-BIG gear yet. Aren't there any low end choices that work pretty well?
