    FOr the imaging setup that uses FLI camera/filter on the imager 1 option, In order to use SC3/AO-X guiding setup one needs to connect SC3 to AOX using an adaptor cable, DL website lists it here (https://diffractionlimited.com/product/starchaser-ao-xao-8t-adapter-cable/)
    and indicates that "The 11066 adapter cable has a DE9 plug with male pins compatable with AOX I 2C IN port and this is the cable that I have found in the box with SC3. However, SC3 instruction manual says the following: "Connect the Adaptor Cable (11044) between the AO-X unit’s I 2C OUT port and the StarChaser SC-3 AUX port" which means this cable needs to have DB9 female connection to match AOX OUT port....so this is confusing which port does SC3 go to ? if its OUT then I have to buy a gender changer in this case....I can't find any DB9 female to MINI DIN 9Pin male cables....could you please clarify where does SC3 connect to AOX is it IN or OUT?

    The AO-X In and Out ports are internally connected together. So just plug the cable in to the port with the gender that fits. No need for adapters or different cables.
