Unveiling the iOptron CEM70-NUC: A New Frontier in Equatorial Mounts!

Tired of tangled cables and inconsistent third-party interfaces? Say hello to iOptron's NUC-ready mounts. Designed to seamlessly integrate with an Intel® NUC mini-computer (up to 38mm thickness), the CEM70-NUC's innovative cable management system eliminates the mess.

Building on the popularity of the iOptron CEM60, we're thrilled to roll out two next-gen medium payload mounts: the CEM70 and CEM70G. Setting new industry standards in the 70lb payload class, both models come loaded with cutting-edge tech. But the CEM70G stands apart as the first to feature built-in optical guiding, amping up your tracking accuracy and simplifying your setup.

Maintaining the classic center-balance architecture, these medium payload mounts are both compact and capable. With precise GOTO functionality and tracking accuracy of less than ±5 arcsec, the CEM70 series is a reliable partner for both stargazers and photographers.

Designed with you in mind, these mounts boast an array of user-friendly features, such as:

Internal iPolar electronic polar scope for easy alignment
Gear clutches that are a breeze to engage, even with gloves on
A comprehensive cable management system for the mount, iPolar, guide cam, and more

Key Features:

Center-Balanced Equatorial Mount (CEM) for optimal load handling and stability
Perfect for visual and astrophotography use
Carries up to 70 lbs (31.8 kg), with the mount itself weighing just 30 lbs (13.6 kg)
Simple yet secure gear clutches
Fine-tuned altitude and azimuth adjustments
Stepper motor featuring 0.07 arcsec accuracy for spot-on GOTO and tracking
iPolar™ electronic polar scope
Go2Nova® 8410 controller equipped with Advanced GOTONOVA® GOTO Tech and a built-in heater
Ultra-precise tracking: PE < ±5 arcsec
Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC)
32-channel GPS built-in
USB compatible
Integrated ST-4 autoguiding port
Cable management for mount and NUC
8" Vixen/Losmandy dual saddle with NUC adapter
New! iOptron subsidized TheSky Imaging Edition software

What's in the Box?

Box 1: #C70AN contains the CEM70-NUC mount head in a hard case along with accessories.
Box 2: #7226 comes with a 9.5kg counterweight.

So, whether you're an amateur astronomer or a seasoned astrophotographer, the iOptron CEM70 series has got something for everyone.
