As above I've just acquired this mount (£100 auction find basically). I am fairly new to astronomy so please bare with me, I think it has had an upgrade to astromeccanica. I have seen on similar mounts two serial ports, power port, and a port for something similar to a telephone cable. However this only seems to have 1 serial Port, I presume the power is provided here as well or both Ascension and declination. What exactly would I need to get this up and running, it isn't the white skywatcher Mount it's a black one if that makes any difference? Any help would be very very much appreciated.

£100? You lucky, lucky <insert Life of Brian quote here> !!  :grin:  :grin:  :grin:

Bargain of the century. I hope it all works fine. :)
