    Meade 505 telescope to PC USB Cable
    equivalent
    There are several reasons one would want to control their telescope with a PC:
    It is faster than using the hand controller.
    It gives you a visual aid when searching for something hard to find.
    If you find something unknown, the planetarium software will be able to identify it.
    It is a necessity if you plan on imaging anything for longer than a single quick exposure.
    It's wicked cool
