Astro Devices Nexus DSC Shelf for DiscMounts DM6

Product Overview

This is a clear acrylic shelf that keeps a Nexus DSC or Nexus DSC Pro attached to a DiscMounts DM6 mount. It gives the unit a dedicated home on the mount so the display stays within easy reach while you observe, rather than hanging from a cable or resting loose on the mount body. The kit weighs 300 g and arrives with everything needed to fit it to the DM6, including a replacement top cover plate and a ball head mount.

Who It's For

This shelf suits owners of a DiscMounts DM6 mount who run a Nexus DSC or Nexus DSC Pro digital setting circles unit. It is purpose-made for that pairing and mounts to the DM6 in place of the standard top cover plate. The Nexus DSC unit and the mount are sold separately.

Key Features & Design

• Clear acrylic construction: a transparent shelf that holds the Nexus DSC on the mount without obscuring the view of surrounding hardware.
• Dedicated Nexus DSC home: designed specifically for the Nexus DSC and Nexus DSC Pro, so the unit sits securely and stays in position.
• Replacement cover plate included: the kit supplies a top cover plate replacement that the shelf attaches through, integrating cleanly with the DM6.
• Ball head mount included: a ball head mount is part of the kit, allowing the shelf position to be adjusted.
• Light and compact: the whole kit weighs 300 g, adding minimal load to the mount.

Recommended Uses

Use it to carry a Nexus DSC or Nexus DSC Pro on a DiscMounts DM6 during visual observing sessions, keeping the display and controls positioned at the mount where they are easy to see and reach. It keeps the unit fixed and tidy through a night of star-hopping and object location.

The shelf fits the DiscMounts DM6 mount and is compatible only with the Nexus DSC and Nexus DSC Pro. It is not compatible with any other digital setting circles unit.
