A. Appendix A - Connector ad Cables

This appendix describes the various connectors and cables used with the ST-

7E/8E/9E/10E/1001E.

A.1. Appendix A - Connector Pinouts

Tables A1 and A2 below show the pin-outs of the Telescope and Power connectors on the ST-

7E/8E/9E.

A.2. SBIG Tracking Interface Cable (TIC-78)

Many of the newer telescopes have a phone-jack connector on the drive corrector for

connecting directly to the ST-7E/8E/9E/10E/1001E Camera's Telescope Port. These include

9The Open Drain outputs can sink 100 mA maximum
