Celestron GOTO aux out

[manofscience]

My 127SLT just arrived on the door this morning and since having it all set up and running (waiting for the clouds to part) I wanted to plug it into my computer to try and sync it with stellarium.

I went to the aux output and grabbed what I thought would be the cable to connect it to my computer - A standard ethernet cable...but the connection is too big. Ive never seen a cable like the one it seems to need and none was supplied.....can anyone shed any light on how to connect to my MacBook Pro?

I have the skywatcher 127 and PC and had to use a usb to serial converter to connect through my handset to stellarium

Is it the same mount though? The aux output might be different...

Really struggling to find the answer anywhere

I'm under the impression you need to buy (does not come with) the correct serial cable to connect the 127 to the PC.

This one perhaps? http://www.harrisontelescopes.co.uk/acatalog/Celestron_NexStar_PC_Control_Cable.html

So on one end is the serial cable...the other is a celestron specific connection, is that right? Shame its clear from that picture!
