ASIAIR Pro with NEQ5?

[HaleBopp2007]

Hello, I'm planing on buying the ASIAIR Pro. How do I connect it to the NEQ5 GOTO system?

Assuming you mean HEQ5 - try an EQ-Mod cable like this: https://www.firstlightoptics.com/lynx-astro-cables/lynx-astro-ftdi-eqdir-usb-adapter-for-sky-watcher-eq5-pro-heq5-syntrek-pro-az-eq5-gt-az-eq6-gt-and-eq8-mounts.html

Oh no, I mean the standard EQ5 with its GOTO kit

I'm not familiar with the goto kit I'm afraid, I'll need to defer to someone who knows. Might be worth having a look at the ZWO site: https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/tutorials/how-to-connect-asiair-to-your-skywatcher-mount.html

The EQ5 and HEQ5 have the same connections, so the EQDIR cable @GoldTop57 linked to above will work fine as a replacement for the SynScan handset. That way the mount is controlled directly from your PC or laptop. 

If you want to keep the SynScan handset then you can connect into the USB or Serial socket on the bottom of the handset. Earlier handset have the serial (RJ11) & the latest have USB. If you use the handset connection, you will need to go into the Utilities menu on the handset and turn on the "PC Direct" mode.

Alright, thank you both!
