Pegasus Astro NYX-88 Strain Wave Gear Mount

Introducing the Pegasus Astro NYX-88, the latest addition to the NYX harmonic mount series. This compact mount, weighing just 5 kg, offers an impressive payload capacity of up to 14 kg without the need for counterweights, making it ideal for traveling astrophotographers and observational astronomers.

  • Precision Engineering: The NYX-88 features strain wave drives on both RA and DEC axes, delivering a backlash-free experience with high torque, even at maximum payloads.
  • Durable Aircraft-Grade Build: Constructed from CNC-machined aluminum alloy 6061, the mount is built to last, with an anodized black and blue finish.
  • Electronic Brake: Includes an RA axis brake to prevent backsliding when power is off, ensuring safety during slewing or tracking.
  • Lightweight and Compact: At just 5 kg, it supports up to 14 kg, and higher payloads can be achieved using a counterweight rod.
  • Versatile Operation: Switch between German Equatorial and Altazimuth modes via PC, hand-controller, or mobile app.
  • Seamless Connectivity: Supports wireless and USB2 simultaneously, and is fully compatible with ASCOM Alpaca, ASCOM, INDI, and LX200 protocols.
  • Power Efficient: Operates on a standard 12V battery, consuming less than 0.6 amps during tracking and up to 2 amps during slewing.
  • Universal Saddle: Comes with a low-profile, rigid saddle that accepts Vixen and Losmandy 3-inch dovetails.

With the NYX-88, you get the best of precision, portability, and performance, making it the perfect companion for astronomy enthusiasts. Plus, it fully integrates with modern imaging software like N.I.N.A., offering driverless control through ASCOM Alpaca for an enhanced user experience.
