NexStar RS232
Just looking for a NexStar RS232 cable to try out with my new scope and
bumped into this outrageous bit of over pricing £38.00 from the Widescreen Centre, UK $15.95 (about £10) mail order Adorama New York I know telescopes may not produce much profit for vendors, but the bits and pieces sure do judging by this. Richard |

But I'm as thick as two short planks about wiring. I'll get my brother on

More high value damage can be done with a soldering iron than any other readily obtainable weapon of mass destruction. Guaranteed ready for action in less than 45 minutes too.
