Celestron Nexstar 6SE/8SE Cable Manager

This will help with cable management for the Celestron Nexstar 8se with the stock mount or a EQ mount (mine is the EQ6-R Pro), both models are included.  I needed something to wrap my USB cabled around so they were not just hanging down catching on mount.   The first edition I modified a battery holder that fit in the stock mount to hold my cables, a “T” power adapter and a Startech powered USB hub.  For the second edition I needed a way to attach all this to the OTA directly because I upgraded my mount to the Skywatcher EQ6-R Pro and I swapped out my Startech USB hub for an SV241 power box so I made another mini-vixen accessory attachment for that as well as Startech USB hub attachment.

This is a pretty basic setup, but it was simple to print and worked well to hold a lot of gear in a compact space.   Hope this helps someone!
