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

Hi!

I have assembled some information on connecting an LX-200 to a G4.
Check this link:

http://www.adpartnership.net/ScopeDriver/index.html

...and click on the "Connecting a Telescope..." link.

The short answer is that, yes, you will need a USB-to-serial adapter
*and* a cable to go from the adapter to your LX-200. I haven't tested
the Belkin adapter; I use one from Keyspan, and it works like a champ.

'Hope that helps...
