BRESSER Nebula 6 EQ/AZ Wifi-Network Mount

NEW - BRESSER Nebula 6 EQ/AZ Wifi-Network Mount

The new BRESSER Nebula 6 EQ/AZ Wifi-Network Mount is a precise and quiet telescope mount, perfect for astrophotography. The controller box offers multiple central connection options for various accessories, such as cameras, filter wheels, and motor focusers, via USB (2.0/3.0), simplifying the setup of a professional astrophotography system.

BRESSER combines innovation with Italian-made quality for this top-class product. The manufacturer's extensive experience in mount construction guarantees a high-end device with first-rate functionality and reliability. The in-house development team for hardware and software in Italy ensures quick response times for technical support and adaptation of new device drivers. This is truly "Professionals at work!"

Key Features:

• Web App Control: The mount is controlled via pre-installed web app software, accessible via Wifi and an Ethernet cable connection. The Nebula GoTo system allows for control independent of a normal PC and can be remotely managed via a smart device such as a mobile phone or tablet, without excluding traditional computer connections.
• Raspberry Pi 4: The BRESSER Nebula GoTo System Controller uses a Raspberry Pi 4 microcomputer, enabling complete control of the setup (mount, camera, etc.) without needing any other external device. The system includes all Linux-based applications necessary for performing all astrophotographic functions.
• INDI Environment: The existing INDI environment allows control of almost all devices (cameras, filter wheels, rotators, including observatory domes) needed for local or remote astrophotography sessions.

Compatibility:

The system offers high flexibility for users who prefer traditional computer client applications. It supports:

• Cart du Ciel (Star Chart)
• TheSkyX
• SkySafari
• Stellarium
• SGP
• Nina
• CCD Ciel

This compatibility is ensured through the adoption of the Alpaca communication protocol, allowing the use of traditional ASCOM platform drivers for native INDI devices.

State-of-the-Art Mount Construction

The BRESSER Nebula mounts are CNC-manufactured from stainless steel and aluminium. Designed and manufactured in Italy, these mounts offer a stable yet easily transportable option. Despite its light weight of only 16 kg (including tripod), the mount allows a high load capacity of up to 25 kg.

Visual Observation:

For visual observation, control the mount with the included hand control box or connect the Nebula 6 via WLAN directly to your smartphone or tablet and use the virtual hand control box. All adjustment parameters can also be modified via the web application, designed to be simple and intuitive.

Astrophotography:

The Nebula mount excels in astrophotography, whether mobile or stationary. Connect your laptop or PC via WLAN or an Ethernet cable directly to the Raspberry-Pi control unit of the mount. Use the pre-installed software Kstars/EKOS to control the mount and all external devices, including cameras, motor focusers, and filter wheels. Alternatively, you can control the unit with your own software.

2-in-1 Mount with EQ and AZ Mode:

The Nebula can switch from equatorial mode to azimuthal mode, ideal for observing nature or tracking satellites. This versatility allows the mount to be used for various applications beyond astronomy.

Attachment of Multiple Optics:

The mount can accommodate multiple optics. Replace the counterweight bar with another telescope to use the second optic as a counterweight to the main telescope. Set the Nebula 6 to azimuthal mode, remove the counterweight bar, and screw on an extension adapter with a suitable second telescope clamp directly to the mount.
