RS323C cable to Serial port adaptor cable needed

HI Folks

I recently purchased a SS2K,I have installed it and it MT2 motors on GP mount all testing has gone smoothly and everything works very well.

My next challange is to connect lappy to SS2K controller,I have a proper
Keyspan serial port adaptor,I got from Gary (great service Gary)
So I can connect lappy to it,but I need a cable to go from serial port adaptor to connect to SS2K hand set.It has a RS323C on it.

Where do I get one of these cables?and how much?

Also,what planaterium program is needed,I have Sky3.

I want one that I has a list that I can dial up,scroll through and tap on object desired.

All up it seems a lot better system my old NEQ 6,this SS2K seems more like a scientific instrument.It is such a shame Vixen no longer make these.

Thanks for any pointers

cheers Chris
