Any one know what type of plug fits the socket with arrows pointing to it. I am after one that fits in there with a female USB the other end. TIA.

I used to have one but, remind me again what is says by the socket.

It's a 6 pin "RJ12" AUX port

Thanks for your replies. PeterCPC It says Aux 1 and Aux 2. Can I run my Altair GPCAM cooling fan off of one of these ports? 

[PeterCPC]

No I would not do that. You risk damaging the Board. The AUX ports are basically the same as the HC port.

You will find that your Nexstar+ (or StarSense) hand control will work in any of these 3 sockets (on the right hand side of CPC).

The AUX sockets are also for Celestron StarSense Camera or Celestron Sky Portal Wifi unit  (again in any of the 3 - the scope treats them all the same).

As Peter says, I would not attempt to power anything else (non Celestron) of these sockets, you will need to power them from external power unit. Celestron do a power unit with USB sockets...
