Description
1
Camera Power
This port is used to provide power from the Instrument Panel
to the camera head. Note: power to this port is supplied by
plugging an SBIG camera power cable into the Camera Power
port on the Adaptor Panel. (Page X21X.)
2
Guider
Input for the autoguider. Plug the autoguider cable into this
port if your autoguiding camera has built-in autoguider
(such as the SBIG ST-7, ST-8, ST-9, etc.).
Use the port labeled Guider on the Adaptor Panel if your
autoguider has a separate control box (such as the SBIG ST-
V or ST-6).
This port is identical to the Guider port on the Adaptor
Panel. (Page X21X.)
Note: If you use CCDSoft’s DirectGuide feature, no guider
cable is required. See the “XDirectGuide™X” heading for more
information. (Page X91X.)
