My 1200's serial port connectors have gotten a little rusty. Does anyone know where one can get those plastic caps to cover them
with?
I've not used them up until now, my friend has a program we plan
to
use to track satellites and the ISS, and we're going to try it
out.
And here I am with embarrassing rusty serial ports on an otherwise beautiful mount!
I'd vote for 802.11 wireless LAN to replace the serial ports.

I wouldn't have to take my computer outside.
Generally, though, I'm happy to get away from the computer for a change, and just use the fine hand controller. In addition to the great mechanicals of the mount, the fact that I can run it without being disturbed by a computer is its greatest feature.

Rick are you planning to use Satellite Tracker or some other program and please post the results when you try it out.
