Trouble in connecting C8 ASGT with Computer

[Debasisswan]

Hi,

Just got a Celestron C8 ASGT. Had some problem initially in setting its time- as my country India comes in GMT + 5.5 hr time zone and the scope takes time at full one hour succession without any scope to put decimal figure. However, the problem is solved- credit and thus my thanks go to experienced friends in this forum.

I am now in trouble in connecting the scope with computer as my laptop does not have any Serial port. Got a Chinese cheap USB - Serial converter from E Bay. But that does not work in Win7 loaded in my laptop.

Found a different and a bit more serious converter here- USB to RS232 Converter - RX, TX, RTS, CTS [1170] : Sunrom Technologies, Your Source for Development

I am sure, some of our experienced friends in this forum must be be having detail idea about this converter. Please enlighten me.
