My setup I use a powered hub which is mounted at the top
of the GEM pier.
From here the stock standard Meade DSI II cord feeds up
(thru the moving parts of your typical GEM and only JUST
reaches the camera at the top of the 12" OTA.
It's 1.8m or 2.0m I think. No problems with performance
with this setup using the dome capture PC (desktop USB 2.0)
Laptop is a different story. Because it is an older model it only has 1x
USB 1.0 port. No combination of PCMCIA USB2.0 add on / powered hub
etc can make the DSI work.
I'm happy to drive it via the dome PC anyway. Rock steady in use,
no crashes/freezes or strange behavior.
