If you know how, please let me know how. I have a CG-5 mount with a RA drive and no controller. Can I modify an existing EQ-2 controller? It has a 5 pin male din and the port for the CG-5 motor needs 4 pins...not unlike a telephone connection. And, no, Radio Shack does not carry 5 pin female din's that I can modify. ;>(

Please help...the sky's are drying out and I need to track objects in them!!!

Why don't you try looking a using a PDA? Planetarium and Astromist can both be used to drive a scope - For a PPC, I think The Sky can, too.
