SNAP cable for Alpha 6500?

Tyseren — Sun, 15 Oct 2017 19:59:00 GMT

Hi,

I'm wondering if someone can help please? I want to use my 6500 with the Star Adventurer mount (https://www.firstlightoptics.com/skywatcher-star-adventurer/skywatcher-star-adventurer.html) for widefield time lapse astrophotography. Skywatcher sells cables for camera control (https://www.firstlightoptics.com/skywatcher-star-adventurer/shutter-release-cable-for-sky-watcher-allview-virtuoso-star-adventurer-star-discovery-and-merlin-mounts.html) but the one for Sony cameras has a different fitting to that required by the 6500. Can anyone recommend a source of the right cable please?

Thanks

Helen
