Product description

More about the series CEM...

Center-balanced Equatorial Mount, whisper quiet and light weight!

The "Z" design mount puts the weight of the payload at the center of gravity allowing for greater natural stability. Given its payload capacity, this means the "Z" designed mount is unusually light. A nice benefit when setting up at a remote site. Other features include an adjustable counterweight bar to prevent obstruction with the tripod. And polar aligning is quick and accessible all the time since the polar scope is not blocked by the declination shaft.
The CEM25 is equipped with the latest advanced Go2Nova-technology, making it one of the most powerful and accurate mounts available. Its database includes over 59,000 objects. The Go2Nova-Hand Controller is intuitive to use and its large 4-line LCD screen simplifies the process of setting telescopes and locating objects.

Features:

  • Specialized astrophotography mount ideal for entry-level and intermediate Astrophotographers
  • Spring loaded gear system with customer adjustable loading force
  • Gear switches on both R.A. and DEC axes for easy balancing when disengaged
  • iOptron AccuAlignTM calibrated polar scope with dark-field illumination and easy polar alignment procedure, allowing for fast and accurate polar alignment
  • Polar alignment routine for those who can’t see the Pole Star
  • Integrated ST-4 autoguiding port
  • Built-in 32-channel Global Positioning System (GPS)

Stepper motor with low power consumption: The mount uses up to 60% less GoTo power consumption then other mounts in category.

Special Features of the EC-Version of the CEM25mount:

  • High precision optical encoder system and advance control technology for accurate tracking PE<0.3 arc second RMS
  • New electronics and control adapted from the big CEM60 mount

This mount already comes with iOptron's newly developed LiteRoc tripod.
