Pegasus Astro PoleMaster Detachable Adapter for NYX-101 and NYX-88

Product Overview

This is the Pegasus Astro detachable adapter that fits a QHY PoleMaster to an NYX-101 or NYX-88. Detachable is the useful word: the PoleMaster goes on for polar alignment and comes off again, so it is not riding on the mount all night adding weight and another cable.

The NYX mounts have their own polar alignment routine built in. This is for people who already own a PoleMaster and prefer that workflow.

Who It's For

This is a good match if you:

• Already own a QHY PoleMaster and are moving to a NYX mount.
• Polar align by camera and want the same routine you are used to on the new mount.
• Set up fresh each night and want polar alignment to be quick and repeatable.
• Would rather not leave it fitted — the detachable design is the point.

Key Features & Design

• Detachable by design: fit it for alignment, remove it for the session.
• Fits both NYX mounts: published for the NYX-101 and the NYX-88.
• Mechanical adapter only: no electronics and no cabling of its own — the PoleMaster connects to your computer as it always did.

Recommended Uses

• Polar aligning a NYX-101 or NYX-88 with a QHY PoleMaster.
• Portable setups where the mount is polar aligned from scratch every night.
• Keeping an existing PoleMaster in service after a mount change.

Compatibility and Accessory Notes

• For the Pegasus Astro NYX-101 and NYX-88.
• The PoleMaster itself is not included — this is the mount-side adapter only.
• The NYX mounts polar align without it. Their own routine runs from the app or the NYX Hand Controller, so this is a matter of preference rather than necessity.
• Not sure it suits your PoleMaster revision? Send us the model and we will check it with you before you order.

Good to Know Before You Order

• Adapter only. You supply the PoleMaster.
• Pegasus Astro publishes no material specification, dimensions or weight for this adapter. 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.
• If you do not already own a PoleMaster, the mount's built-in alignment is worth trying first — it may well be all you need, and it costs nothing extra.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it difficult to set up?

No. The adapter mounts to the NYX and the PoleMaster attaches to it. It is designed to come on and off quickly, which is the whole idea.

Does it fit both the NYX-101 and the NYX-88?

Yes — Pegasus publishes it for both.

Do I need a PoleMaster to polar align a NYX mount?

No. Both mounts have a polar alignment routine built in, available through the app and the hand controller.

Is the PoleMaster included?

No, this is the adapter only.

Can I leave it attached all night?

You can, but it is built to be removed — taking it off keeps the weight and the cable off the mount during imaging.

Bottom Line

In short: the detachable mount-side adapter that puts a QHY PoleMaster on a NYX-101 or NYX-88 for polar alignment, then comes straight back off for the session.
