Hi there. I've been working on the CCD side of my automation project up to now, assuming that the SkyPortal app from Celestron would deal with the going-to side of things. However, the app failed on me last night (claimed it was a beta version and then, on reinstall, refused to download its star database) so I've decided to bring my automation of "going-to" plans forward.
On the Nexstar Evolution mount there are four Aux ports, no PC port. I know there is a PC port on the base of the handset but I don't need no steeenkin' handset.
My question is: is it possible to use the Aux ports on this mount, directly, for control from a PC? If so, can anyone point me at the electrical characteristics and would the current (new!) Indi drivers be likely to work with it? Any answers, or vague hints in the right direction, are most welcome, as Celestron don't seem to do this sort of customer support thang very well.
[EDIT] I've found this

, which gives me hope, assuming the Aux port is wired/protocolled the same on the Nextstar Evolution as it is on the Nexstar GPS. [/EDIT]
