Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Celestron Nexstar RS 232 PC Interface Cable
Customer Review: used for Celestron 8 SE
Summary: 5 Stars
This interface cable was essential for updating the software on the hand control and scope motor. Required the purchase of an after market cable to connect the RS-232 cable to hand control base outlet(no need to connect to the outlet on the scope base with the SE).Customer Review: RS 232 Cable
Summary: 3 Stars
Exactly as stated. Most all laptops will need a USB/RS-232 adapter, and driver in order to use this.
Will probably require some computer knowledge.
I cannot understand why the telescope manufacturing companies seem to stay about 10 years behind the current technology?
Customer Review: Cable to Old for Actual Use
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought my Sister a Celestron Telescope and a good assortment of accessories for her birthday. I bought this celestron pc cable thinking that it would connect to the laptop we got her for christmas. WRONG it doesnt connect without buying an adapter because the rs232 ports are ancient in the computer world. Still the product was as described as far as condition goes.Customer Review: need a Serial to USB adapter
Summary: 2 Stars
Yeah, these cables were created some years back and they need a mated serial to USB adapter added. I've used this config to plug it into a USB port and control my Celestron Nexstar using DeepSky and this cable. Also need to download the ASCOM files and free ASCOM Celestron driver.Customer Review: does not fit newer laptop
Summary: 1 Stars
My laptop is 1 yr old and this cable does not fit. The newer computers do not have 9-pin ports and the only adapter I could find was $37.00 at Best Buy. The 9-pin end on this cable is female and so is the one on your computer. I strongly advise shopping around first before buying this cable because it probably will not fit your computer.
