Thanks for your help Michael.

Hi Michael, Thanks for you reply. The RJ45 end is reserved and my new one has extra black and white. So working one sequence is - R G B Y B While the new working one is - B Y G R Black White To buy a working RJ12 to RJ45 lead for me which colour sequence is reversed, when I was buying one online I do not recall options on colour sequencing - it just said RJ12 to RJ45. Thanks

Hi everyone, I hope this is the correct place for this post. In terms of DIY my post might be stretching it but it the closest section I could think of to post this. I brought a SynScan-Wifi for my GOTO mount for WiFi so I can use my SynScan app rather than the handset. It is a Skywatcher skymax 127 AZ GOTO telescope. The SynScan-Wifi has a socket for a RJ45 while the mount has socket for RJ12. The SynScan-Wifi came with a lead to connect up but the Wifi was intermediate and unusable. So I got rid of that flimsy lead and used the long Spiral coiled handset lead that I already had and I have no problems. But I want to get a shorter lead to avoid wires everywhere. So I brought a 0.25 cm lead but when I connected it up there was no signal no yellow/green data lights flashing. The lead was inexpensive but the right type RJ12 to RJ45. The shorter lead that came with the product was unusable and now I buy a separate lead and it still does not work only the longer handset lead works. To avoid me buying lots of leads to try out does anyone use a short working lead to connect the SynScan-Wifi to their mount or would anyone recommend a quality one to connect the mount to SynScan-wifi. Thanks in advanced Bob

Hi Everyone. Could anyone recommend any dark observing sites near Wolverhampton, Walsall or the west midlands area? Jupiter and Saturn are good in my telescope but there is light pollution and are partly blocked on the horizon. It would be great to pack the scope and drive for 20 mins to a dark site. Thanks bsf

If anyone can get a time at the weekend organised I can would be happy to bring my telescope and binoculars.

Hi, Just to echo some of the replies in this forum, if there is a meeting set up at a place for observations I would love to attend. Although recently the weather has not been the best I would still like to observe the summer sky with my telescope and binoculars. Hope there is enough interest and something is organised soon. Thanks
