not much really to say. however would be nice if they updated the connection to be compliant with computers from this century, went to computer store to get an adapter for 17 bucks to work with usb and worked like a charm to update my firmware.

Comments about Meade #505 Connector Cable Set only for AutoStar Controlled Telescopes:
I am new to the home telescope world and need to connect an old scope to my old computer. This did the job. A longer cord would be nice to at least offer. This is a bulky scope and hard to get close to the computer.

Comments about Meade #505 Connector Cable Set only for AutoStar Controlled Telescopes:
This scope aligns itself with a little input to fine tune one to two stars-it repeats and allows more object viewing per night and what stunning deep space and moon detail, with my glass solar filter, I took my first shots of the Sun yesterday, WOW !
The whole system works flawlessly, if you read the manual and watch-out to not be too close to metal or buildings-this scope works and the Meade
"Flip-Box" and "Off Axis Guider" add to my astrophotographic abilities.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
