About
A compact travel-oriented harmonic mount, the smaller sibling of the NYX-101. Strain-wave gears on both axes give backlash-free motion and high torque at full load — 14 kg without counterweights from a 5 kg head — and an electronic brake on RA stops backsliding when power is lost. The body is CNC-machined 6061 aluminium anodised black and blue; it runs equatorial or alt-azimuth, is controlled over Wi-Fi or USB through Unity, a mobile app or a hand controller, and speaks ASCOM 7, Alpaca, INDI and LX200.
