Good video. Keep us updated on the long term use of the mount.
Nice review and thank you for always being honest as to what ever issues you see 👍
I got the first version of the NYX -101 and have been really happy with it. Excellent for my small refractor, and I've just finished getting it working with a Berlebach tripod and 10" Newtonian (plus the recommended counterweight). First few nights with the Newt on the NYX have been great.
I have an SCA260, and I am just amazed to see first you put it on AM5, and then the Nyx. I think I need to change my mindset (mine runs on the CEM70G) - that SCA260 is a beast (but an amazing, amazing scope) at 34lb barebones and about 42lb loaded. Would like to see your imaging session review with Nyx running the SCA260 - and how it handles near horizon / meridian objects and your take on guiding. Thanks for doing this video.
I have the pocket power box advanced from Pegasus. It was not cheap, but it is very nice. Great for power management and as a USB hub. Even without through the mount cabling, it gets you down to just 2 wires going up and down. A breeze for avoiding cable snags. The big one looks amazing, but for a single scope set up the pocket version has enough. The auto dew feature using the environmental sensor saves a ton of power too.
Fantastic gear, astrophotography has become very technical, expensive but technical. Thanks for the video, some of us are house bound so we really look forward to your videos.
Hey you shot the unboxing video on my birthday 🎉😂
Hi Ryan. A question regarding the mount & power management: Does the 12V input at the base of the RA Axis connect through the RA & Dec axes to the power output(s) in the saddle? That would be ideal, as that would really reduce or eliminate concerns re cable snags. Also, does the same apply to the USB inputs/outputs? Thanks!
Ethernet in saddle is pretty cool
A couple of suggestions with heavier payloads on a harmonic mount, especially against wind. Instead of the tripple tube pier, get the solid pier like the pe200 or just put it straight on the tripod if the scope is wide enough and there is no risk of hitting the tripod at zenith / meridian. Also use a counterweight even if your mount allows you to use that payload without it. It helps
Thanks for an instructive video. How do you connect the iPad to NINA? Does NINA work well with a touchscreen interface? Cheers, Des
Great honest review. You dropped the video just like you said you would around a month back. I purchased this mount few months back. Hope it does not happen what happend to you.
I really wanted to like and want this mount and almost popped on it for Xmas last year but decided to hold off for some more reviews. I also saw some comments on CN that PA was challenging, bad backlash when fixing down the PA and often by morning PA was well off again. Did you find anything challenging with the PA process or change over night? With the new mounts from Skywatcher though, my interest may have shifted. The Powerbox saddle is great but an expensive add-on for the mount.
Interesting.
Given the commonality of a lot of the equipment placement geometry, do you think you could design a modular 3D printed scaffolding for wire management? One for SCTs on GEM, one for refractors on harmonic mounts, etc.?
the nyx has play is Dec also the 2 sides of the base of the mount twist on mine and have flex.. how was it for you?
Due to budgetary restrictions, I actually cut my cables to length. It’s not hard, generally only two or three wires, the shrink wrap makes them “all weather” 🤷🏻♂️
I'm kinda amazed it perform that well with the carbon fiber tripod. It means it will probably perform even better with a more robust tripod (as they say never skip leg day :p ). That being said, I would have been horrified if I saw my scope pointing like that in the morning due to mount failure. Wouldn't the break kick-in to prevent back driving?
I like the Pegasus products a lot.
