A.4. SBIG Tracking Interface Cable (TIC-78)
Many of the newer telescopes have a phone-jack connector on the drive corrector for
connecting directly to an SBIG camera or autoguider. You can interface these telescopes to the
Telescope port with our TIC-78 (Tracking Interface Cable), or you can make your own cable.
Figure A1 below shows the pinouts on some of these telescopes.

Telescope electronic designs are changing rapidly. You should check with the manufacturer
of your telescope for the actual pinouts of your particular model. If this TIC cable does not
match your drive port, then you can use the information in Table A1 to make a cable to work
with your specific telescope/drive system.
