Shoestring Astronomy USB vs Parallel for HEQ5 Pro
Hi all,
I have read a few posts regarding autoguiding with a webcam and I notice that a lot of you out there are using the Shoestring USB interface ($66) rather than the Parallel ($35) interface. Is there any reason why the USB is a better way to go?
My laptop has a DB25 parallel port and a DB9 serial port as well as USB1 & 2.
Can I use the software upgrade cable supplied with my HEQ5 Pro (DB9 serial -> RJ12) to guide my HEQ5 Pro via the handset RJ12 jack, or is the slower data transfer rate gonna cause probs ?
Thanks in advance.
