GC-497-FLASH

 

This adapter allows you to power your Autostar 497 ‘on the bench’ without attachment to the telescope.

 

You can then attach the Meade 505 cable to your Autostar and PC/MAC and perform a flash upgrade without having to bring the PC to the scope or the scope to the PC

 

Notice the White to Black and Red to Blue wire.

Red & Blue wire = 12V
