Re: which part needed for my new EQ5 mount

ok, thanks.
The GPUSB says it has "optocouplers to electrically isolate the computer from the telescope, eliminating a possible source of electrical interference".
If I use the USB2EQ5, is this a concern that it doesn't have them?
Thanks for clarifying.

which part needed for my new EQ5 mount

I have the GPUSB and accompanying RJ cable which I use on my older EQ3M mount (dual drive).
I'm looking at upgrading to the Sirius Goto (EQ5) mount.
Can I use this (GPUSB and RJ cable) on my EQ5 Mount - or do I need to use the USB2EQ5 adapter?

Thanks!
