NYX101 Harmonic Mount
NYX101 Harmonic Mount
Nyx, the ancient Greek goddess of the night, enlightened us to design and produce a high-performing, high payload mount that can easily carry imaging equipment up to 20 kg without needing a counterweight or shaft.
Strain wave drive on RA and DEC movement ensures a backlash-free operation with high torque at high payloads. A fully CNC machined aluminum alloy 6061 body, black and blue anodized, and a selection of branded parts (stepper motors, strain wave gear) inside the mount, ensure that Nyx-101 will perform flawlessly for many years. Mount includes an electronic brake on the RA axis to prevent backsliding when power is off as well as safety limit stops during slew or tracking.
Lightweight Design, compared to the payload of weight the mount can lift
CNC-machined aluminum alloy AL6061 used for aircraft makes the mount an excellent choice for your setup. Mount weights 6.4 Kg
From a small refractor to a fully loaded SCT 11-inch telescope, NYX-101 can easily handle the payload
Counterweights are not required for weights up to 20Kg.
Built-in Wireless & USB Control
NYX-101 supports wireless and USB 2 connectivity out of the box.
Both technologies can work simultaneously.
Compatible with ASCOM Alpaca, LX200 protocol and Sky Safari for mobile interaction
Power Off Brake
A safety power-off brake is installed on the RA Axis and provides an instant safe stop during a planned or unplanned power interruption.
Optional Saddle Powerbox
The Pegasus Astro Saddle Powerbox is a versatile and indispensable accessory for astronomy enthusiasts and astrophotographers alike. This innovative device seamlessly combines a telescope saddle and a power distribution hub, simplifying the setup and operation of astrophotography equipment.
The saddle securely holds your telescope while also providing multiple power outputs for all your astronomy gear, including cameras, mount, dew heaters, and more.
With its integrated USB ports, input voltage, current monitor, and robust build quality, the Pegasus Astro Saddle Powerbox not only ensures a tidy and organized telescope setup but also reduces cable clutter and minimizes the risk of accidental power interruptions during those crucial imaging sessions under the night sky. It’s a must-have tool that enhances the convenience and efficiency of any astrophotography rig.
