I've added a motorised option to go with my DM6 'unpowered' alt-az mount.

It will my existing tripod, and will comfortably carry all my scopes with the exception of my Dob.

 

From Denmark :  TTS (Track the Stars) 160 Panther.

Set up time is very quick. Less than 10 minutes to be up and running and / or imaging.

No levelling or polar alignment necessary. Heres a few images, DM6 then Panther.

I'll post more once its had its maiden outing. Thanks for looking :)

And special thanks go out to Graham, who went out of his way to machine me a spacer to go between tripod and mount. :good3:

Its not designed to Mick....?

The Nexus is designed to work with encoders in a push-to system, like the DM6

The Panther is a tracking motorised go-to mount.

If you mean will it plug in to the Panther, then no. 

The 5 ports on the mount are (from right to left)

1. 12v power

2. HP (Hand pad) The Panthers hand pad is a new design, and quite different from the norm.

3. Auxillary. This is where the optional field derotator plugs in.

4 AG  Autoguiding port. (ST4 compatible)

5. PC conection (LX200 / Ascom compatible)
