Sky-Watcher AZ-Gti EQMOD Control Cable (USB to RJ12)
This high-quality serial cable allows you to connect your Sky-Watcher AZ-Gti mount directly to a computer, replacing the SynScan hand controller. It enables full control via EQMOD or other ASCOM-compatible planetarium software.
Key Features:
- FTDI Reliability: Features the industry-standard FTDI chipset for a "Plug & Play" experience on most systems.
- Multi-OS Support: Comprehensive support for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android.
- Precision Guiding: Ideal for astrophotography, enabling precise auto-guiding and GOTO commands directly from your PC.
Requirement: To use this cable, you must flash your AZ-Gti mount with the "Right-Arm/EQ Mode" firmware from the Sky-Watcher website.
Why use this cable?
- Efficiency: Faster and more precise than using a hand controller.
- Visual Aid: Use planetarium software (like Stellarium or N.I.N.A) to visually target deep-sky objects.
