The GEM45 is not just a pretty face…

The mount has a compact design and an extremely good weight-to-load ratio – the 7 kilogram mount can precisely and securely carry a load of up to 20 kilograms! With its built-in electronic polarscope (iPolar) correctly aligning the mount (polar alignment) is child’s play – even if the Pole Star is not visible.

The universal self-centring mounting saddle takes both Losmandy-style and Vixen-style dovetail rails. The mount uses a reliable stepper motor drive system with low energy consumption and a database of over 212,000 objects. The integrated GPS, as well as the large hand controls with optional WiFi, provide additional comfort.

August promotion: iOptron CEM40 now at reduced prices

August 2 2023, Jan Ströher

CEM stands for centre-balanced equatorial mount, that is a mount supported at its centre of gravity, thanks to its design. This means that a lighter counterweight can be used, and it offers an excellent ratio of mount weight to carrying capacity: a CEM with a relatively low own weight can carry a comparatively heavy optic.

We are now offering the CEM40 series of mounts from iOptron at reduced prices for a limited time until 31 August!

The CEM40 mount weighs just 8.2 kilogrammes, but can carry optical instruments and accessories weighing up to 18 kilogrammes. This excellent payload/weight ratio of 2.5 is the reason why the CEM40 is so versatile. You can transport them to the best dark sky observation sites, or mount them on a small column in your garden observatory.

The following models in this series are available in August at a discount:

CEM40 GoTo with LiteRoc tripod and carrying case – 63903

CEM40 GoTo LiteRoc – 62121

CEM40 GoTo with tripod – 61904

CEM40-EC GoTo high precision encoder with LiteRoc tripod – 62122

CEM40-EC GoTo high precision encoder with tripod – 61906

As always, this promotion is on a “first come, first served” basis and only as long as stocks last!

Promotion period: 01 to 31 August 2023.
