Pages: 1 James Cunningham Carpal Tunnel Reged: 08/07/10 Loc: Maryland Nexstar 8 connect to SkySafari?       #5721743 - 03/09/13 08:08 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I have a friend with a first generation Nexstar 8. His hand controller only has the one plug that connects to the scope. There is no second hole for connecting to a PC or downloading updates. I know that he cannot update his handset but was wondering if there was any way he could use something like Sky Safari. Thanks.

There is an aux but I don't think it will work with that. Maybe a replacement handset? Post Extras:       Pages: 1
