StellarMate Celestron NexStar USB Cable
StellarMate Celestron NexStar Cable
The Celestron USB cable is compatible with Nexstar controllers that have the RJ9 port*. It enables control of your compatible Celestron mount from a PC, Mac, or the StellarMate. Simply connect the RJ9 plug to the RS232 port on the Nexstar handset and then connect it to your device via USB. You can use any planetarium program (e.g. KStars) to control the mount to slew to any object.
This cable is 5.9 feet long and is INDI & ASCOM compliant. It is compatible with Windows 7, 8 & 10 as well as Linux & MacOS. It is also compatible with StellarMate and is based on FTDI chipsets.
* Please Note: A Nexstar hand controller with this connection is required; this cable can not be used to bypass a hand controller.
