Pegasus Astro NYX-101 Harmonic Geared Mount with Pre-Installed Saddle Powerbox

The Perfect High Precision, High Payload Mount for Astrophotographers!

Named for the Greek Goddess of the night, the Nyx 101 mount from Pegasus Astro is a high-performing, high payload mount that is perfect for astrophotographers. It can even be used for visual observations with both alt-azimuth and equatorial modes. Made from a fully CNC machined aluminum alloy 6061 and black and blue anodized, this aesthetically pleasing mount uses a selection of branded parts (stepper motors, strain wave gear) to ensure flawless performance for many years to come!

This mount has an incredibly lightweight design, especially compared to the impressive payload capacity. Weighing in at only 6.4kg (14.1 lb.), this mount can support equipment from a small refractor to a fully loaded 11" SCT telescope. The Pegasus Astro NYX-101 mount comes with a Polemaster adapter on the front of the mount so you can pair a user-supplied QHY Polemaster for precise polar alignment. It also comes with an ST-4 port at the back of the mount, making it compatible with a simple hand controller or an ST-4 guiding camera (hand controller and ST-4 guiding camera not included). The Nyx101 mount includes a set of sensors that will help you orient the mount at the correct altitude and azimuth in order to give an initial, rough polar alignment. The NYX-101 also comes with reverse voltage polarity protection. This is a lifesaver if the voltage or battery polarity is accidentally reversed.
