Celestron - NexRemote Telescope Control Software

Now Celestron Advanced Series GT, NexStar “i” Series, GPS, and CGE Series telescopes can be set up and operated remotely
from a PC or laptop! NexRemote duplicates all of the functions and features of our NexStar software on the standard NexStar Hand
Control plus much more! 
Kit Includes: 
NexRemote Software CD with license 
RS-232 Cable to connect telescope to
PC or Laptop 
Serial-To-USB Adapter 
When gamepad support is enabled, NexRemote uses the Logitech WingMan Cordless
RumblePad as a means of remotely controlling the telescope operation. This is particularly useful when aligning the telescope with
NexRemote and the PC is not within reach. See the Gamepad Reference section for a complete list of all
operations.
