A.4. SBIG Tracking Interface Cable (TIC-78)
Many of the newer telescopes have a phone-jack connector on the drive corrector for connecting
directly to the ST-7XE, 8XE, 9XE, 10XE, ST-10XME and ST-2000XM Camera's Telescope Port.
These include the Celestron Ultima, Losmandy CG11 and Meade LX-200. You can interface
these telescopes to the Telescope port with our TIC-78 (Tracking Interface Cable), or you can
make your own cable. Figure A1 below shows the pinouts on some of these telescopes.

Telescope electronic designs are changing rapidly. You should check with the manufacturer
of your telescope for the actual pinouts of your particular model. If this TIC cable does not
match your drive port, then you can use the information in Table A1 to make a cable to work
with your specific telescope/drive system.
