Astro Devices Nexus DSC Shelf for TeleVue Mounts

Product Overview

The Astro Devices Nexus DSC Shelf for TeleVue Mounts is a clear acrylic platform that keeps a Nexus DSC or Nexus DSC Pro attached to a TeleVue mount. This is the plain shelf version, supplied without the eyepiece caddy, so it gives you a clean, low-profile home for the unit and nothing more. The shelf holds the digital setting circles computer within easy reach at the mount, so the unit rides with the telescope instead of hanging from a cable or sitting loose on the ground.

Who It's For

This shelf fits owners of a TeleVue mount who run a Nexus DSC or Nexus DSC Pro and want the unit carried on the mount itself. It is a direct fit accessory for those two Astro Devices computers and is not designed for other digital setting circles.

Key Features & Design

• Clear acrylic construction: a transparent shelf that keeps the look tidy and the unit visible.
• Dedicated Nexus DSC fit: shaped to hold the Nexus DSC and Nexus DSC Pro securely.
• Mounts to TeleVue mounts: attaches to a TeleVue mount to carry the unit alongside the telescope.
• Without eyepiece caddy: the plain shelf, for setups that do not need eyepiece storage at the mount.
• Mounting hardware included: ships with the fasteners needed to fit it to the mount.
• Light and compact: the shelf weighs 300 g, so it adds little to the mounted load.

Recommended Uses

Use the shelf to keep a Nexus DSC or Nexus DSC Pro on the mount during a visual observing session, so the display and controls stay within reach while you push the telescope from object to object. It suits any TeleVue mount setup where you would rather have the unit fixed in place than held by hand.

Compatibility and Accessory Notes

The shelf is compatible only with the Nexus DSC and the Nexus DSC Pro, and no other digital setting circles. It is made to fit TeleVue mounts and is supplied in the configuration without the eyepiece caddy. A separate version with the eyepiece caddy is offered for observers who also want eyepiece storage at the mount.

Good to Know Before You Order
