Astro Devices Nexus DSC Shelf for ES Truss Dobsonians

Product Overview

The Astro Devices Nexus DSC Shelf gives your Nexus DSC or Nexus DSC Pro a dedicated home on an Explore Scientific Truss Dobsonian. Cut from clear acrylic, it keeps the unit attached to the telescope and within easy reach at the eyepiece, so the display and controls stay in front of you while you observe. The shelf ships with a threaded knob and adapter plus a ball head mount, giving you an adjustable, secure attachment point. At just 300 g, it adds negligible weight to the scope.

Who It's For

This shelf is for owners of an Explore Scientific Truss Dobsonian who run a Nexus DSC or Nexus DSC Pro and want the unit carried on the telescope rather than set loose nearby. It fits those two units only.

Key Features & Design

• Clear acrylic construction: a transparent shelf that stays unobtrusive on the telescope.
• Ball head mount: lets you angle the Nexus DSC or Nexus DSC Pro to a comfortable viewing position.
• Threaded knob with adapter: secures the shelf assembly in place.
• Purpose-built fit: designed specifically for the Explore Scientific Truss Dobsonian.
• Light weight: 300 g total, adding little to the overall scope.

Recommended Uses

Use the shelf to keep the Nexus DSC or Nexus DSC Pro mounted on the telescope during visual observing sessions, so digital setting circle readouts stay in view as you push the scope to targets. The ball head lets you set the display angle to suit your seated or standing position at the eyepiece.

Compatibility and Accessory Notes

The shelf is designed exclusively for the Explore Scientific Truss Dobsonian mount. It is compatible only with the Nexus DSC and Nexus DSC Pro units, and works with no other digital setting circle models. The threaded knob, adapter, and ball head mount needed to attach it are all included in the box.
