It works!
I am very pleased with the performance of this cable. I have an old Celestron NexStar 114GT I purchased on sale at one of the big warehouse stores around the time Mars was closest to Earth. It wasn’t until now that I started using the telescope hooked up to a laptop. Due to the age of my telescope, it isn’t easily supported by newer software, and I’ve tried quite a few. The only software that works properly is a Windows OS (7 & 10) program called DeepSky using the ASCOM v4.1 driver supplied with the program. At first, I couldn’t get anything to work and I was about to return the cable until I came across information that you have to manually do the alignment of the telescope then set the tracking on the controller to allow the RS232 connection. Once you do that, all you have to do is select an object to view in DeepSky, then the telescope slews there automatically. It’s awesome! I will continue to attempt getting other software working under different operating systems, but for now at least I know this cable works, and quite well.

Worked for my AVX telescope mount
I needed to connect my Celestron AVX mounts’ hand controller to my computer. It worked perfectly! I was able to get the needed firmware updates to my controller, and using SkySafari Pro software on my MacBook Pro, I could even fully control my telescope mount with the computer software.This was exactly what I needed and it worked perfectly

Works great!
Was kind of hassle to get the drivers, but after that it's worked great.

Works with Mead LX200 Classic first gen telescope
1992 Meade LX200 classic run by Cartes du Ciel (Sky Charts) and Winbook Windows 10 tablet with this USB to RS232 cable. Cartes du Ciel is free and frankly amazing.

This works on my old Nexstar hand set to connect it to the computer
Works, but I'm not seeing any improvement from the old RS232 cable. Was hoping for a better connection, but I guess that wasn't the problem. Still having mount issues with autoguiding.
