Celestron Cable, StarSense-to-CG5

Celestron StarSense-to-CG-5 AUX Port Splitter Cable (#93923)

Connect your CG-5 mount to StarSense AutoAlign with this essential AUX port adapter.

The Celestron AUX Port Splitter Cable (#93923) is a critical component for anyone using the StarSense AutoAlign accessory with a CG-5 mount, which only has a single AUX input by default. This simple but essential adapter gives your telescope mount a second AUX port—enabling you to run both the StarSense AutoAlign camera and your NexStar hand controller at the same time.

Designed Exclusively for the CG-5 Mount

Many older and mid-generation Celestron mounts, including the Advanced Series CG-5, were built with just one AUX port. That worked well for earlier hand controllers, but today’s smart accessories—especially StarSense AutoAlign—require their own dedicated AUX connection.

This splitter solves the problem by providing two outputs from a single port:

• One side for your hand controller

• The other for your StarSense AutoAlign or other compatible accessory

Without this splitter, StarSense simply won’t work on the CG-5, as there’s no way to plug in both required devices simultaneously.

Simple Plug-and-Play Operation

The adapter has one 6-pin AUX input that connects directly to your mount's AUX or hand control port. It then branches into two 6-pin AUX outputs, giving you the flexibility to expand your setup without needing a full hub or extra power source. Just plug it in and go—no special configuration required.

This cable is not a serial adapter, and it does not work with mounts other than the CG-5. It is purpose-built to bring StarSense compatibility to CG-5 mounts, and may not be needed for mounts that already include multiple AUX jacks.

Final Thoughts

If you’re setting up a Celestron CG-5 mount with StarSense AutoAlign, this #93923 AUX Port Splitter Cable is a must. It gives your system the ports it needs to function properly while keeping your wiring tidy and compact. Simple, effective, and purpose-built—it’s exactly the kind of adapter you want when upgrading legacy hardware for modern accessories.
