Pegasus Astro NYX-101 v1 Retrofit Kit for Heavier OTAs

Product Overview

This is the Pegasus Astro retrofit kit for first-generation NYX-101 mounts, published by Pegasus as supporting heavier optical tube assemblies. It is an upgrade path for an existing v1 mount rather than a part for a current-production one.

If you bought your NYX-101 early and are now hanging more telescope on it than you were, this is the kit Pegasus offers for that.

Who It's For

This is a good match if you:

• Own a first-generation NYX-101 and have moved to a heavier optical tube since you bought it.
• Are approaching the payload limit on a v1 mount and want the margin the retrofit provides.
• Want to keep the mount you have rather than replace it to carry a bigger scope.

Key Features & Design

• For v1 NYX-101 mounts: an upgrade for existing hardware, not a part for current production.
• Published purpose: support for heavier OTAs on the first-generation mount.
• Keeps the mount in service: an upgrade rather than a replacement.

Recommended Uses

• Upgrading a first-generation NYX-101 that is now carrying a heavier telescope than it was bought for.
• Adding payload margin before moving to a larger imaging train.

Compatibility and Accessory Notes

• First-generation NYX-101 only. This is a retrofit for v1 hardware.
• The NYX-101's published payload is 20 kg without counterweights and 30 kg with, on a 6.5 kg head.
• Check your generation before ordering. Pegasus Astro publishes no serial-number guide for identifying a v1, so send us a photo of your mount and its serial and we will confirm with Pegasus which version you have. We would rather do that than have you order the wrong thing.

Good to Know Before You Order

• Pegasus Astro publishes only the kit's name and purpose. There is no parts list, installation guide, material specification, dimensional data or weight on their site for this item, so those rows are left out rather than filled with figures we cannot source. It is also why the listing is not yet available to order.
• Confirm the fit with us first. Given how little is published, this is one we would rather check with Pegasus on your behalf than sell blind — get in touch and we will do that.
• It is an upgrade kit, not a mount. You need an existing v1 NYX-101 for it to be of any use.
• Want it sooner? Ask and we will weigh one off the shelf and get the listing live for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it difficult to set up?

Pegasus Astro does not publish an installation procedure for this kit, so we cannot describe the work honestly. Get in touch before ordering and we will find out from Pegasus what fitting it involves.

How do I know whether I have a v1 mount?

Send us a photo of the mount and its serial number and we will confirm it with Pegasus.

Does it raise the payload figure?

Pegasus publishes the kit as supporting heavier OTAs but does not state a revised payload number. We will not put one on the page that they have not published.

Do I need it if my NYX-101 is recent?

No. It is a retrofit for the first generation.

Bottom Line

In short: the Pegasus upgrade kit that lets a first-generation NYX-101 carry a heavier telescope. Talk to us first so we can confirm your mount is a v1 and find out exactly what the kit contains.
