Astro Devices Nexus DSC Shelf for DiscMounts DM4

Product Overview

This clear acrylic shelf keeps your Nexus DSC or Nexus DSC Pro attached to a DiscMounts DM4 mount, giving the unit a dedicated home right on the mount instead of hanging from a cable or resting loose on a table. It arrives as a small kit at 300 g, with the shelf itself, a replacement top cover plate for the mount, and a ball head mount to angle the display where you can read it comfortably.

Who It's For

It fits owners of a DiscMounts DM4 who run a Nexus DSC or Nexus DSC Pro and want the unit carried on the mount. The shelf is made specifically for these two units and this mount, so it suits an existing DM4 setup rather than a general-purpose bracket for other hardware.

Key Features & Design

• Clear acrylic shelf: a transparent platform that holds the Nexus DSC or Nexus DSC Pro on the DiscMounts DM4.
• Top cover plate replacement: a substitute cover plate for the DM4 that the shelf mounts to.
• Ball head mount: lets you tilt and position the unit so the screen faces you at the eyepiece.
• Light kit: the complete assembly weighs 300 g, keeping added load on the mount minimal.

Recommended Uses

Use it for push-to observing sessions where the Nexus DSC or Nexus DSC Pro stays mounted on the DM4 throughout the night, keeping the display within reach as you move the telescope across the sky.

Compatibility and Accessory Notes

The shelf is compatible only with the Nexus DSC and Nexus DSC Pro, and no other digital setting circles. It mounts to the DiscMounts DM4 using the included replacement top cover plate. The DSC unit and the pictured mount are sold separately.

Good to Know Before You Order

• Unit-specific fit: it is designed around the Nexus DSC and Nexus DSC Pro only; other DSC models do not fit.
• Sold separately: the kit provides the shelf, cover plate, and ball head mount, while the Nexus DSC unit and the DM4 mount are purchased on their own.
• What's included: one Nexus DSC shelf, one top cover plate replacement, and one ball head mount.
