While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

I put a question to the group a few weeks ago on how to wire up an RS232
cable that will connect a Magellan I to a PC. Thanks to the many replies
(especially from Pat Hensley) I now have this working. The reason I had to
ask the question in the first place was because the pin numbering diagrams
in the Meade manual were confusing. To help others who may want to build
such a cable in the future I have put a page together on my website that
describes (hopefully more clearly than Meade) how to build such a cable. I
believe the same instructions will also work for a Magellan II. The page
can be found at:
