Pegasus Astro NYX-101 Azimuth Dowel

Product Overview

This is the azimuth dowel for the Pegasus Astro NYX-101 — the pin used when setting the mount's azimuth during polar alignment. One ships in the box with every NYX-101, so this listing exists as the replacement for the one that rolled off the tripod in the dark.

It is a small part with an outsized effect on how quickly a session starts, which is precisely why people need a second one.

Who It's For

This is a good match if you:

• Have lost or misplaced the dowel that came with your NYX-101.
• Want a spare in the case so a small part never costs you a clear night.
• Set up in the field regularly, where small loose components have a way of disappearing into grass.

Key Features & Design

• Supplied with every NYX-101: Pegasus Astro lists the azimuth dowel in the mount's box contents, alongside the power supply, carry case and USB cable.
• Used in azimuth adjustment during the mount's polar alignment.
• Sold individually as a replacement or a spare.

Recommended Uses

• Replacing a lost or damaged azimuth dowel on an NYX-101.
• Keeping a spare in the mount's carry case.

Compatibility and Accessory Notes

• For the Pegasus Astro NYX-101.
• You may already have one. Check the mount's carry case before ordering — it ships in the box, and we would rather you found yours than bought a second.
• Related alignment parts: the PoleMaster detachable adapter and the NYX Hand Controller both sit in the same part of the workflow, and we stock both.

Good to Know Before You Order

• It is a replacement part. New NYX-101 mounts include one, so this is for the second one.
• Pegasus Astro publishes no dimensions, material or weight for the dowel. Those rows are left out rather than filled with figures we cannot source, and it is why the listing is not yet available to order.
• Want it sooner? Ask and we will weigh one off the shelf and get the listing live for you.
• Not sure this is the part you are missing? Send us a photo of your mount base and we will identify it with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it difficult to set up?

No — it is a dowel used during azimuth adjustment. There is nothing to install.

Didn't one come with my mount?

Yes. Pegasus lists the azimuth dowel in the NYX-101 box contents, so check the carry case first.

What is it actually for?

It is used when setting the mount's azimuth as part of polar alignment.

Does it fit the NYX-88?

Pegasus publishes this part for the NYX-101. Tell us which mount you have and we will confirm it before you order.

Bottom Line

In short: the NYX-101's azimuth dowel, sold on its own — a spare for the one already in your carry case, or a replacement for the one that is not.
