Sorry for this recurrent question, but... would anybody confirm I understood clearly what is written in this forum?
Does the dear old SBIG ST4 interface to an EM-200 Tak mount (Temma) through the Shoestring Astronomy's Tak Temma adapter, with the "SBIG telescope interface cable" (TIC, http://www.sbig.com/pdffiles/TIC_Cable.pdf)?
I have a SBIG TIC cable that works with a GM8 mount, but it looks as I need a second TIC cable with reversed pinout 1-6 to match the Shoestring Astronomy's Tak Temma adapter, is that right? I would not risk an "experiment" if there is any chance to damage Temma's electronics.
Thanks a lot,
Antonio

Re: Temma and SBIG ST4
From the looks of the diagram you provided, you should be able to plug this cable directly into the GPCNV-TAK.
Re: Temma and SBIG ST4
Thank you very much Doug! I was very confused by a previous thread in this forum which seemed to suggest the contrary, so I thought that by looking at the SBIG's cable actual pinout and knowing your Temma adapter you might give me a straight answer. Next clear night I will give a try. Meanwhile I have checked PHD with your GPUSB for the first time and it works great!
Cheers,
Antonio
