NexRemote Telescope Control Software Package

DESCRIPTION

Now Celestron Advanced Series GT, NexStar “i” Series, GPS, and CGE Series telescopes can be set up and operated remotely from a PC or laptop! NexRemote duplicates all of the functions and features of our NexStar software on the standard NexStar Hand Control plus much more! Visit our NexRemote page for more information.

Kit Includes:

NexRemote Software CD with license
RS-232 Cable to connect telescope to PC or Laptop
Serial-To-USB Adapter

When gamepad support is enabled, NexRemote uses the Logitech WingMan Cordless RumblePad as a means of remotely controlling the telescope operation. This is particularly useful when aligning the telescope with NexRemote and the PC is not within reach. See the Gamepad Reference section for a complete list of all operations.
