Works great!
Was kind of hassle to get the drivers, but after that it's worked great.

It works!
I am very pleased with the performance of this cable. I have an old Celestron NexStar 114GT I purchased on sale at one of the big warehouse stores around the time Mars was closest to Earth. It wasn’t until now that I started using the telescope hooked up to a laptop. Due to the age of my telescope, it isn’t easily supported by newer software, and I’ve tried quite a few. The only software that works properly is a Windows OS (7 & 10) program called DeepSky using the ASCOM v4.1 driver supplied with the program. At first, I couldn’t get anything to work and I was about to return the cable until I came across information that you have to manually do the alignment of the telescope then set the tracking on the controller to allow the RS232 connection. Once you do that, all you have to do is select an object to view in DeepSky, then the telescope slews there automatically. It’s awesome! I will continue to attempt getting other software working under different operating systems, but for now at least I know this cable works, and quite well.

This cable will save you money.
I bought a used Celestron Nexstar 6SE that only included the scope, AC adapter, and controller. Of course I got the dreaded BOOT ERROR upon plugging it in. After doing research Celestron would have had me spending about $100 or more on their proprietary cables and adapters to get their scope connected to a computer.With this I first downloaded the Celestron software and plugged this in per the instructions and was up and going for a tenth of the price. This ting has paid for itself many times over in one use.

Worked for my AVX telescope mount
I needed to connect my Celestron AVX mounts’ hand controller to my computer. It worked perfectly! I was able to get the needed firmware updates to my controller, and using SkySafari Pro software on my MacBook Pro, I could even fully control my telescope mount with the computer software.This was exactly what I needed and it worked perfectly

Works with Mead LX200 Classic first gen telescope
1992 Meade LX200 classic run by Cartes du Ciel (Sky Charts) and Winbook Windows 10 tablet with this USB to RS232 cable. Cartes du Ciel is free and frankly amazing.

This works on my old Nexstar hand set to connect it to the computer
Works, but I'm not seeing any improvement from the old RS232 cable. Was hoping for a better connection, but I guess that wasn't the problem. Still having mount issues with autoguiding.

works for controlling your mount and to update firmware
i just used it for both controlling the mount on my celestron slt 130 and also to update the firmware. works great. just plugged into my laptop windows 10 and the driver installed automatically.

Windows driver caution
The cable is great quality but a word of caution - Windows 10 does not currently support USB to serial connections. In my case, I was unable to find a Windows driver to support this connection.

If you want an update your Centeron buy one of these
Good quality and does the job; cost is a little steep considering what you get is a couple of plugs and a little wire.
