Self-powering: When connected to a Celestron computerized mount, the mount provides the power. When connected directly to a computer, USB provides the power.
Compatible with a wide variety of Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain, EdgeHD, and Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph optical tubes. Check description for full list.
Motor controls include multiple speed rates, automatic GoTo indexed focuser position, and focuser backlash compensation.
Focuser Utility software for Windows provides a simple user interface. Also compatible with Celestron PWI.

A complete digiscoping solution: NexYZ connects your smartphone to an eyepiece while the Bluetooth shutter release button helps you get a steady shot every time.
NexYZ’s patented design works with telescopes (with most 1.25” or 2” eyepieces), spotting scopes, binoculars, monoculars, and microscopes (with the included adapter rings).
Connect the remote shutter release to your phone via Bluetooth to take photos or start/stop video recording without unwanted vibration.
Both devices work with virtually all smartphone models, including the latest devices from Apple, Samsung, and Google.
NexYZ features three directional knobs (X-, Y-, and Z-axis) that perfectly align your phone’s camera with the eyepiece in seconds. In addition, you can make tension adjustments to keep the phone firmly in place.
NexYZ stands up to rigorous field use thanks to its robust, durable construction with a metal frame and polymer body.
