I have a 16" SCT dating from about 1999. I had been run with TheSky and an old (I kid you not) Windows 95 machine. The telescope fell into disuse because of a career change that took all my time. Not surprisingly, the old computer failed during that time. So, I am now looking to upgrade the software to run the telescope, but before I spend hundreds of dollars, I would like to understand if the software will work with the old telescope drive. The issue is that the telescope has a serial connector. I have purchased a serial to USB cable, but the question remains, will that work.
I would love to upgrade the mount, but that is not financially feasible at this time.
