Detailed Description

Mount and Tripod

The BRESSER EXOS-2 mount provides exceptional stability and precise tracking, essential for both visual observations and astrophotography. Double radial groove ball bearings in both axes ensure smooth motion, while an optimised RA axis bearing reduces backlash. The height-adjustable tripod is reinforced to minimise vibrations, supporting a load capacity of up to 13 kg.

Nebula Goto System

The Nebula Goto system offers versatile control options. Operate the mount via smartphone or tablet using the Nebula control interface, or use popular planetarium software like SkySafari. For manual adjustments, a hand control box is included.

Connect your laptop or PC directly to the Nebula control unit via WIFI or LAN cable, allowing full control over the mount and connected peripherals like cameras and motor focus systems. The pre-installed KStars / EKOS program simplifies device control from your PC.

The system’s stepper motors with belt drive ensure smooth, direct drive of the axes, while electronic polar alignment and guiding are easily achieved with a connected camera. The ASCOM Alpaca driver enables the use of your preferred software for mount control.

Benefits

• Precision and Stability: Double radial groove ball bearings and a stable, height-adjustable tripod ensure accurate and steady observations.
• Versatile Control Options: Operate the mount via smartphone, tablet, or PC, using the Nebula control interface or popular astronomy software.
• Efficient Tracking: High-resolution stepper motors with belt drive provide smooth and precise tracking.
• Integrated Technology: The built-in Raspberry Pi with USB ports allows seamless control of external peripherals.
