Next Step |
Although many mounts now support direct USB connections, you can also use the included RS232-USB adapter to connect to your mount.
Some equatorial mounts provide ports at their hand controller that can be used to connect to the ASIAIR PRO:
- ARGO VAVIS,
- GTOCP series,
- StarGo,
- NexStar series,
- SynScan V 3 / V4 series (Skywatcher): please see the next chapter if your mount is a SkyWatcher EQ6R-PRO
- Pulsar2 GoTo,
- Go2Nova series (iOptron, but not the PRO series!, for iEQ45Pro mounts please see here),
- Gemini series,
- AutoStar Series,
- AudioStar series,
- PMC-8 and Electronic FS-2 commonly used by DIY telescope builders.
SynScan V5 needs to use a USB Type B ‒ Type A printer data cable. If the connection type or baud rate is incorrect, it will fail to connect in the app
