Q1: Can you view images on your computer

A: The cable will allow you to control a properly-aligned telescope from your computer. However, seeing with the telescope "sees" on your computer will require an imaging device like the Zhumell Digital Eyepiece.

Q3: does this cable require buying additional software? does the software that came with my new telescope work with it?

A: The Celestron Cable NexStar telescopes to RS-232 Port requires no additional software. The software supplied with your scope should work fine with it.
