You already own a BRESSER EXOS-2 mount and want to take a big step forward? Then set off for new astronomical shores with the new Nebula Goto Kit. This modern system offers you several options for control.
You can operate the mount directly via its own Nebula control interface using your smartphone or tablet (iOS and Android supported). Alternatively, you can also use a planetarium software like SkySafari.
Of course, manual control remains an option. For this, a handbox for minor corrections or simple control commands is included in the delivery.
Moreover, with the BRESSER Nebula Goto Kit, you can connect your laptop or PC directly via WLAN or LAN cable (recommended for faster data transmission) to the Nebula control unit. This not only gives you full control over the mount, but also allows you to connect several devices such as cameras, motor focus, filter wheel, etc., directly to the control unit via various USB ports. This eliminates the need to connect each device to your computer via cables. The pre-installed program KStars / EKOS lets you comfortably control all devices from your PC or laptop.
Electronic polar alignment or guiding can also be easily implemented with the Goto Kit, provided you have a camera connected. Additionally, you are not limited to the software of the Nebula control unit. Thanks to the installed ASCOM Alpaca driver, you can use your own programs on your computer to control the mount - be it Stellarium or N.I.N.A. The two stepper motors with a belt drive ensure a smooth, direct drive of the two axes. It is only important to have a good balance.
FEATURES
- Belt drive for more precise, quieter tracking
- Stepper motors with high resolution (0.36´/microstep)
- Hand control box for direct control of the mount
- Virtual hand control box for smartphones and tablets
- PC control – ASCOM compatible
- USB ports for cameras, motors, filter wheels, etc.
SCOPE OF DELIVERY
- 2 stepper motors for both axes (RA and DEC)
- Raspberry Pi control unit
- Basic handbox
- 230V / 12V / 3 A power supply
- Connection cable
- Manual for download
