Skywatcher mount Snap port

[Northernlight]

Hi All,

Firstly apologies if this is not the most appropriate section to ask the question, but i'm planning to buy the Skywatcher StarAdenturer GTI as a portable grab and go go rig that i want to use with a mirrorless camera and i want to try and understand how the mounts snap port works for shutter release on my mirrorless camera.

Now for the bit i don't understand - after i attach the appropriate shutter release cable between my mount and the camera, how do i control the number of shots i want / duration etc from my Astronomy software like SGP Pro or Nina ?  how is this configured in astronomy software as i'm assuming that it's trigger through the Ascom driver somehow ?

Also is the snap port on the Skywatcher mounts 3.5mm or 2.5mm and are they 3 or 4 pole ?

Many thanks in advance,

Rich.

Rich, a quick google suggests that the cables are available to suit specific cameras as one end will be fitted with a connector suitable for Canon or Olympus etc - Looking at the images the jack plug is TRS, that's tip, ring and sleeve 

Full details of how it works can be found in the StarAdventure user manual  - Here is FLO's mini guide which should help 

Never used it, but Google is a wonderful thing !
