Hi,
Does anyone know if I can plug my ST2000xm autoguider cable directly into the autoguider port on my SS2K hand controller? Or do I need something from Vixen to make it compatible. Last night I tried to use my GPDX with SS2K for imaging for the first time and I couldn't get the mount to calibrate with CCDsoft or CCdops.It is as if the autoguider is not attached. I couldn't get it to move the scope. Am I missing something???? Thanks, Tom

I believe you have to make your own cable. The cable that comes with it won't work. I had to make one for my GPDX with SS2K and an ST-237. I then got a ST-4 and got lucky and bought the cable I needed on Astromart. I found a diagram for the STV on the SS2K Yahoo group that might help you http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ss2k/message/2616 You might search on that group or ask there to see if someone has done it before.
