  • Hey James,

    I have the same CG-5 as you, I'm wondering where you found the cable that goes from your hand controller to RS232? I haven't been able to find one that I know for sure works with the CG-5. And also what RS232 to USB adapter is that? I know there are some compatibility issues so just want to be certain before I buy :)

  • @kowspot2000 Hey Kowspot2000, I bought the RS232 cable and the adapter from Celestron since I'm using the Celestron ASGT mount. Your best to call a scope seller and ask for the cables that will work with your mount. Good luck

  • Yes D, I think you likely can user Stellarium with Sky View Pro. You need Stellarium and Stellarium Scope - both free downloads. When you hook your laptop up to your scope there is drop down box and you pick the type of Scope you have. Good luck

  • I think MI5 would also like the laptop manufactures stick on labels removed. Other that that your doing well mate.

  • Thanks ! Good Demonstration

  • Could you be able to use stellarium on any goto scope? Like an Orion goto scope example the 120 Skyview Pro....would I be able to use Stellarium on that type of scope like how you rigged yours? Thanks! :D

  • I have this mount, It's great! :)

  • @liltd87 Good luck with the CG5. If its your first equatorial mount it does seem really weird the way it moves and things like the counter shaft. You'll be an old pro in no time.

  • @JamesJames4 i feel like a damn idiot now! I was trying the wrong hole all this time, and just NOW i looked on the other side of the mount and saw where the weight is supposed to be screwed in. DUHH. THanks for helping again. lol
