    Hi I am new to this Forum and was just wondering if the ST-I guide port is compatible with the NEQ6 pro ST4 guide port as the pinouts seem different.
    many thanks in advance

    It will work, but you need to check whether you need a flipped cable or a straight-through cable.

    I assume flipped but ST$ seems to have -RA on 6 , -Dec on 5, +Dec on 4 and +RA on 3 but ST-i seems to have -RA on 4, _Dec on 3 , +Dec on 2 and +RA on 1 so it wpold seem to not be a straight forward 1 2 3 4 5 6 to 6 5 4 3 2 1 flip ?

    Keep in mind that in the software you can usually tell it to reverse the X direction and the Y direction. This allows for situations where the +DEC is connected to -DEC or +RA to -RA.
