Celestron Aux Splitter Question Starsense & GPS


Recommended Posts

I wondered if anyone knows what is special about the Celestron Aux splitter.

They are out of stock everywhere.

Simple RJ45 splitters are available and it seems odd that Celestron would do something weird with their wiring to stop you using one of these.

I just fitted the Starsense auto align but wanted the GPS module to be connected as well.

 

Many thanks.

You could buy a compatible splitter from Amazon, which is what I did. I've had mine for about three years and it works fine. The Celestron ones never seem to be in stock!

So I just cancelled that order before it was shipped from the States.

I used a splitter from Amazon at £8.99 https://amzn.to/3lOk3oU

And two curly cables £10.99 each https://amzn.to/3xsQ2gS

I thought the splitter had different wiring connections to a standard cable, so you might want to check before you use to be splitter and cables you have linked to.

Hi

Already connected up and working.

Starsense and GPS both on the Aux port.

It’s okay I have also just noticed the curly cables. I have also just canceled my order in the US and ordered the same as you from Amazon.
