However I wouldn't worry about slow speed. 9600bps is more than enough for telescope control.

$109 is a good price if you need this adapter for telescope control only. I guess it's rechargeable, right?
I bought my from aircable.net for $120 but my is programmable and it can be used with any application replacing serial cable with bluetooth while the one from Starry Night may work only with telescopes.
G'Day,
I did check with Aircables but he's out of stock and wont be getting any for while,he was selling them for $79 I think.I'm not in a big hurry to get one,I was checking around on price's and types of Adapters,as far as BlueStar is concerned I'm not sure if it's rechargeable or not.To be honest I know very little about wireless adapter's I didn't even know they had to be recharged I'm still learning
Cheers
Arthur
