Skywire with sky safari 4

Hi

I would like to control my celestron c6 with skysafari 4 but not sure which cable to buy. Is skywire lightning the only option with iPad Air? Is there an off market cheaper cable that I can use?

Thanks in advance

IIS member coldnights (Cathy) makes and sells WiFi adapters (for iThings) and and Bluetooth adapters (for Androids). See this thread in the IIS Classifieds:

I have purchased a Bluetooth adapter, and it works great with SkySafari 4 Plus and a Meade LX90 - suggest you contact Cathy to get a quote for the adapter for your gear.

I bought the lightning skywire for my iPad Air, ordered direct through Southern Stars in the US. I cam relatively quickly, and it works brilliantly. I use it to control my Celestron C8.
