  • Pegasus Astro Carbon Fiber Tripod for NYX-88 Mount

    The Pegasus Astro Carbon Fiber Tripod provides a purpose-built foundation for the NYX-88 mount, supporting a massive 50 kg payload while weighing only 2 kg. Its height adjusts from a compact 65 cm when retracted to a maximum of 120 cm, and the legs are set at a fixed 35° angle to ensure a rigid, stable base for portable imaging setups.

    2 kg Carbon Fiber Build: Engineered for Portability

    Constructed from lightweight carbon fiber, this tripod weighs just 2 kg, making it an ideal choice for astronomers who travel to dark sky sites. The legs retract to a length of only 65 cm, allowing it to be easily transported and set up quickly. This focus on portability doesn't compromise strength, providing a vibration-dampening platform that far exceeds what typical aluminum tripods can offer at this weight class.

    50 kg Capacity: A Rigid Platform with a Fixed 35° Stance

    With a maximum load capacity of 50 kg, this tripod is engineered to handle the NYX-88 mount and recommended imaging rigs up to 15 kg without flexure. The stability is anchored by a fixed 35° leg angle, which creates a wide, low-profile base that resists wind and minimizes vibrations. This rigid, non-adjustable leg angle is a deliberate design choice to guarantee optimal stability every time you set up, removing a common point of failure found in adjustable-angle tripods.

  • What is the advantage of the Carbon Fiber Tripod's fixed 35° leg angle?

    A fixed 35° leg angle provides a consistently wide and stable base that maximizes the tripod's rigidity. Unlike tripods with adjustable leg angles, there is no risk of a leg slipping or being set incorrectly, ensuring optimal stability and vibration dampening for the NYX-88 mount every time.

    Is the 50 kg max load of the Carbon Fiber Tripod sufficient for my setup?

    Yes. While the tripod itself can mechanically support up to 50 kg, it is specifically matched to the Pegasus NYX-88 mount. It is recommended for imaging equipment payloads up to 15 kg, which provides a significant margin of safety to ensure critical stability for long-exposure astrophotography.

    How portable is the Carbon Fiber Tripod for the NYX-88 mount?

    This tripod is designed for portability. It weighs only 2 kg and retracts to a length of 65 cm. This compact and lightweight profile makes it easy to transport to remote observing locations without sacrificing the stability needed for your imaging rig.

    Does the Carbon Fiber Tripod come with the necessary adapter for the NYX-88 mount?

    Yes, the tripod includes the required adapter to securely attach the Pegasus Astro NYX-88 mount. You will not need to purchase any additional hardware to connect the mount head to the tripod.

    How does the Carbon Fiber Tripod handle a Celestron EdgeHD 8" on the NYX-88 mount?

    An 8" EdgeHD OTA, along with a camera and guide scope, typically weighs around 10-12 kg. The Carbon Fiber Tripod, with its 15 kg recommended imaging load and rigid 35° leg stance, provides a very stable platform for this setup, effectively dampening vibrations for sharp, long-exposure images.

    What is the maximum practical height of this tripod for visual observation with a refractor?

    The tripod's maximum height is 120 cm (about 47 inches). When the NYX-88 mount and a refractor are attached, the eyepiece height will be suitable for observing while seated on a standard observing chair. For standing observation, especially near zenith, you may need a taller pier or tripod.
