The Sky-Watcher Electronic Shutter Release Cable (model 50974) is a specialized connectivity accessory designed for astro-imaging and time-lapse enthusiasts who utilize Sky-Watcher AllView Multi-Function Computerized Mounts. This cable bridges the gap between your camera and the mount, enabling seamless, automated shutter triggering for long exposures and precise interval shooting. While it is built for durability and reliability, users should note that its compatibility is strictly limited to N3-compatible Nikon camera bodies, making it essential to verify your camera model before purchase.

This cable is designed primarily for shutter release. Focus should be set manually on the lens before beginning the imaging sequence.
No, this cable is specific to the Nikon N3 interface. Using it with non-compatible ports may damage the equipment.
This cable is specifically designed for the AllView Multi-Function Computerized Mount.
Check the side port of your Nikon camera. If it features a rectangular multi-pin remote terminal, consult your camera manual to see if it matches the N3 standard.
No, the cable is passive and draws its minimal power requirements from the camera and mount interface.
Verify the cable is fully seated in both the camera port and the mount port. Ensure the camera is in 'Manual' or 'Bulb' mode as required by your mount's settings.
Ensure there is enough slack in the cable so that it does not pull tight against the mount or camera when the mount rotates to its maximum range.
To set up the cable, ensure your Sky-Watcher AllView mount is powered off before connecting. Plug the N3 connector into the remote shutter port on your compatible Nikon camera and insert the control end into the designated port on your mount. Turn on the mount first, followed by the camera.
Compatibility Note: This cable is specifically for N3-compatible Nikon cameras, such as the D5000 and D90 series. Always check your camera manual to confirm if it uses the N3 connector interface.
Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity of the cable, avoid bending the wire at sharp angles near the connectors, as this can cause internal wire fatigue. Store the cable in a cool, dry place and coil it loosely when not in use to prevent kinks.
