SBIG ST-8300 Manual
Overview and Connections
GUIDE PORT
: This is where you connect the supplied 6 conductor
modular phone style cable to the Autoguider (sometimes labeled "CCD")
input port on your mount when using the ST-8300 as an autoguider, or
when using Track & Accumulate with mount corrections (see the CCDOPS
Manual for details of this mode
POWER:
Plug in the power supply here, or attach any 12VDC power
source (10 - 14V) that provides 3 amps minimum. The power supply that
comes with the camera will operate from 100 - 240VAC and provides 3.5A
at 12VDC. (Note that while an ST-402 power supply will fit, it does not
provide the current required by the ST-8300 to operate properly)
USB
: Attach the 15 foot USB cable to any USB port on your computer
AFTER you have installed the drivers and software for the ST-8300.

wheel will get its power and commands through this port. No other cables
are needed for the filter wheel to function. (Note: This is NOT an RS-232
port. Connecting serial devices or your PC to this port may damage them or
the camera.)
