Double radial groove ball bearings in both axes ensure precise, smooth motion, and the RA axis bearing has been optimized to reduce backlash. Additionally, the tripod is reinforced to suppress vibrations further. The Bresser EXOS-2 can be loaded with up to 13kg of optics for purely visual use or approx. 10kg for Astrophotography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNebula - the powerful and flexible Goto system:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the Nebula Goto system you have the option several control methods. You can either operate the mount directly using its own digital Nebula control interface using your smartphone or tablet (iOS and Android supported). Alternatively, you can also use a planetarium software such as Sky Safari.Manual control remains an option as well using the included hand controller for minor corrections or simple control commands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to this, with the Bresser Nebula Goto Kit, you can connect your laptop or PC directly via WIFI or LAN cable (recommended for faster data transfer) to the Nebula control unit. This not only gives you full control over the mount but also allows you to connect various devices such as cameras, motor focus, filter wheels, etc. directly to the control unit via various USB ports. This eliminates the need to connect each device to your computer via cables. The pre-installed program KStars \/ EKOS lets you comfortably control all devices from your PC or laptop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronic polar alignment or guiding can also be easily achieved with this Goto Kit, provided you have a camera connected. You are also not just limited to the software of the Nebula control unit. Thanks to the installed ASCOM Alpaca driver, you can use your own programs on your computer to control the mount - whether it's Stellarium or N.I.N.A. The two stepper motors with a belt drive ensure a smooth, direct drive of the two axes. It's only important to make sure you have a good balance on your mount setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMount Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStable parallactic mount with fine drive in both axes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall bearings in both axes for more precise movements\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy height-adjustable stainless steel tripod (Min. 69cm \/ Max. 109.5cm)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad capacity of up to 13kg (10kg Astrophotography)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpirit level for easy horizontal alignment\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolar height scale for setting the latitude\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTripod weight: 4.7kg\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount weight: 5.6kg (without counterweight)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal weight including counterweight: 14.8kg\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBatteries: not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures of the GOTO System:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBelt drive for a more precise, quieter tracking\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStepper motors with high resolution (0.36´\/microsteps)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand controller for direct control of the mount\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVirtual hand controller for smartphones and tablets\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePC control – ASCOM compatible\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB ports for cameras, motors, filter wheels etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhats included:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBresser EXOS-2 Mount\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolar finder scope with optional illumination\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel field tripod with accessory tray\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x 4.5kg counterweight\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 stepper motors for the axes (RA and DEC)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaspberry Pi control unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasic hand controller\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e230V \/ 12V \/ 3A power adapter\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection cable\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual for download\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Bresser Messier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49406160830799,"sku":"4964860","price":951.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/1924\/6275\/files\/Bresser-Nebula-EXOS2-German-Equatorial-Mount_3.jpg?v=1722612236","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonastronomy.ie\/en-gb\/products\/bresser-messier-nebula-exos-2-german-equatorial-mount","provider":"Horizon Astronomy • Telescope Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
