Powering nexguide
NexGuide includes a battery case that accepts four D-Cell 1.5V batteries (not
included). Alternatively, you may use an optional power supply that meets the
following requirements:
• DC 6V~14V output voltage (lower voltage recommended)
• Output current of 250mA or more
• 2.1 mm power plug with positive tip
Technical requiremenTs
• Telescope Mount: Equatorial mount or Alt-Az mount with a wedge. The mount must
have a dual-axis motor drive with “ST-4” compatible autoguiding port.
• Guiding Cable: You may use the supplied autoguiding cable if the pin configuration
of your motor drive is the same as the diagram shown on the right.
• Guide Scope: An additional telescope with an M42-0.75 thread or a 1.25” eyepiece
holder is required as a guide scope. An aperture of at least 80 mm helps reduce the
exposure time of the NexGuide, yielding a more accurate guiding result. The ideal
focal length is between 400 mm and 1200 mm. An adjustable guide scope tube
ring, along with a finderscope or red dot finder will help you locate a guide star.
