The iOptron® CEM40 mount represents a new era in center-balanced equatorial mounts. Its appeal extends beyond aesthetics; it boasts exceptional functionality. Weighing a mere 17.4lbs, it defies its size by supporting a remarkable 40lb payload capacity - an astounding feat!

Now, let's delve into the innovation packed within this mount. It features an integrated electronic polar finder scope, the iPolar, ensuring precise telescope alignment, even when the pole star is obscured. The quick-lock drive engagement system showcases substantial levers for effortless gear engagement.

Moreover, the iOptron CEM40 mount sports a dual saddle that accommodates both Losmandy and Vixen-style dovetail plates. It operates on iOptron's ultra-quiet, low-power consumption stepper motor drive system, ensuring impeccable tracking precision.

When it comes to computerized features, the iOptron CEM40 uses the Go2Nova® 8410 hand controller to navigate the night sky. This cutting-edge technology assists observers in locating celestial objects from a vast database of over 212,000 items. For those seeking a telescope mount with the capabilities of precise tracking and object discovery, this mount is an indispensable tool.

With the included tripod, an 11lb counterweight, and the mount's computerized wizardry, observers are just an OTA (Optical Tube Assembly) away from a breathtaking viewing experience. (Please note that this mount uses the #8027 counterweight.)
