Frequently Asked Questions

1 - 4 of 4

Q1: Does this cable work with the ds 2130at model sold at wal-mart stores?

A: you will actually want to use the #506 AstroFinder Software and Cable Connector Kit for ETX 70AT and DS2000 Series

Q2: Is there a USB connector Cable set or is serial the only option?

A: You would need to get the model #07507 USB to RS-232 cable along with the #505. It will depend specifically on what telescope you are trying to connect though as to what cables will work properly.

Q3: will this work on a Meade NGC-60 telscope

A: I am sorry but no as the Auto star in the NGC's will tell you where to point the scope versus actually moving the scope for you.

Q4: Will this set work with a 25 pin serial port? My lap top does not have a 9 pin port. The Meade website says it connects to either a 9 or 25 pin, but from the picture and discription it seems to only work for a 9 pin.

A: The Meade #505 Connector Cable Set works with 9-pin serial ports.
