Compatible with my Celestron CG-5 mount

The Nexstar * hand controller packaged with my CG-5 that nearly 20 years old failed. Instead of buying a new scope I borrowed a friends Nexstar + hand controller and found that it worked fine. I've subsequently purchased one of these USB enable units from this site and it works as expected. Easily connected to my computer through Stellarium using (in my case) COM4 as the port.
