Introduction
Nexus DSC is a digital setting circles computer with included WiFi interface for your telescope. It works with
most popular telescopes – on equatorial or Alt-Azimuth
mounts.
Nexus DSC is a very sophisticated device for locating
celestial object in the sky. Only two rotary encoders have
to be fitted to your telescope in order to be able to locate
celestial object with Nexus DSC.
Encoders and wiring are not included.
