Introducing the iOptron® CEM40 mount – the cutting-edge evolution of center-balanced equatorial mounts. This mount not only boasts stunning aesthetics but also delivers outstanding functionality. Weighing a mere 17.2lbs., it showcases its strength by supporting an impressive payload of up to 40lbs. Yes, you read that right – an incredible feat!

Let's delve into the realm of innovation with the iOptron CEM40. It features the groundbreaking iPolar, an integrated electronic polar finder scope. This nifty tool guarantees precise telescope alignment, even when the pole star is hidden from view. The quick-lock drive engagement system is equipped with generously sized levers, ensuring effortless gear engagement.

The versatility of the iOptron CEM40 mount is remarkable. It sports a dual saddle that accommodates both Losmandy and Vixen-style dovetail plates. Under the hood, it utilizes iOptron's whisper-quiet, energy-efficient stepper motor drive system, contributing to its exceptional tracking accuracy.

Now, let's talk about its computerized prowess. The iOptron CEM40 harnesses the power of the Go2Nova® 8410 hand controller to navigate the celestial wonders. This remarkable technology grants observers access to a vast database of over 212,000 celestial objects, making stargazing a breeze. If you seek a telescope mount capable of effortlessly tracking and locating celestial gems, this mount is an indispensable tool.

The package includes a sturdy tripod, an 11lbs. counterweight, and the mount's cutting-edge computerized features. With these in tow, all you need is the right optical tube assembly (OTA) to embark on an unforgettable journey through the night sky. (Note: This mount is compatible with the #8027 counterweight.)
