StarChaser/Aluma CCD/STC to DB9 Adapter Cables

Large format cameras and older camera models use a DB9 style AUX/I2C connector.  Smaller format compact cameras and guiders use the smaller Mini DIN 9 connector instead.  In some cases adapter cables will be required.

The following cameras use a Mini DIN 9 connector:

  • StarChaser
  • Aluma CCD
  • Aluma AC455
  • STC-7
  • STC-428

Note:  The AO-8A has a mini-DIN cable built-in and does not require an adapter to work with any of these products.

The 11066 adapter cable has a DE9 plug with male pins as shown below:

The 11066 cable is compatible with:

  • AFW Filter Wheels
  • AO-X via "I2C IN" port
  • AO-8T and AO-8 via DB9 pigtail
  • FW7 via DB9 pigtail
  • Older filter wheels with female DB9 pigtails
