Astro-Fix NMS (Non Magnetic Sensor)
for Dobsonian, Altaz and Equatorial mounted telescopes
The New Astro-Fix NMS uses the very latest non-magnetic sensor technology and can be used on Dobsonian, Altazimuth and Equatorial Telescopes for locating celestial objects.
- Unaffected by ferrous materials
- All sensors are contained within the case
- Calibration feature on both altitude and azimuth
- Compact size 85mm x 55mm x 25mm
- Display: 0.1 degree resolution
- Backlit display
- Attaches using velcro
- Two modes of operation - Dob and EQ
- Provides you with altitude, azimuth and declination coordinates
Using the Astro-Fix NMS couldn't be simpler, just reference it to
any convenient star which takes just a minute. Now set your telescope
to the azimuth of your required target followed by the altitude of the
target. You can quickly move from target to target and find all those
elusive Deepsky Objects.
Azimuth and altitude values can be fine tuned if necessary.
EQ Mode
Although primarily intended for Dobsonian telescopes, the NMS has an EQ
mode which displays declination and altitude instead of azimuth and
altitude.
You set declination and altitude by moving your declination and RA
axes.
For greater accuracy you can reference it to stars near your desired
targets.
Your telescope should be polar aligned.
Accuracy
Dob mode:
Altitude - typically within 0.5 degrees
Azimuth - typically within 1.0 degree
EQ mode:
Both axes - typically within 1.5 degrees
For best azimuth results, the base of the telescope mount should be level.
Includes recharging adapter.
