The mounting Bresser EXOS-2:
The EXOS-2 is a robust mounting with high bearing capacity (up to 13 kg visual, 10 kg photographic) and precise setpoint tracing for visual watchings and for astro-photography.
Double radical rill-bearings make the function precise and the optimated RA-axes don´t let much play. Further, the very robust, precise worked mounting allows an easy entrance in astro-photography. A motorical 2-axes control can be added.
includes:
- robust mounting
- agreed counter weight
- robust 3-leg tripod made of steel
The Nebula Goto offers several options for controlling the mount:
You can operate the mount directly via Nebula's own control interface using your mobile phone or tablet (iOS and Android are supported). Or you can use additional planetarium software such as Skysafari.
Of course, you still have the option of manual control. A hand box for minor corrections or simple control commands is included in the scope of delivery.
You can also connect your laptop or PC directly to the control unit via WiFi or LAN cable with the Nebula Goto. This not only gives you full control over the mount, but also allows you to connect multiple instruments such as cameras, motor focus, filter wheel, etc. directly to the control unit via the various USB ports. This has the advantage that you no longer need to connect the individual instruments to your computer via cables. The pre-installed KStars / EKOS program allows you to control all instruments conveniently from your PC or laptop.
Electronic polar alignment or guiding can also be easily achieved with the Goto Kit, provided you have a camera connected.
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 belt drive ensure smooth, direct drive of both axes. The only important thing is good balancing with counterweights.
