Description

The iOptron CEM40G is the latest in the line of center-balanced EQ mounts, and it comes with an integrated iGuider guiding cam. It's not just a treat for the eyes; its performance is equally impressive. At a lightweight 17.4 lbs., this mount can hold an astounding 40 lbs. of equipment.

Cutting-Edge iOptron Features Say hello to next-level tech! The CEM40G has an embedded electronic polar scope, dubbed the iPolar, for precise telescope alignment, even if you can't spot the North Star. Its quick-lock drive engagement system features oversized levers, making it a snap to lock your gears into position.

The mount is designed with a dual saddle that's compatible with both Losmandy and Vixen dovetail plates. Plus, the CEM40G runs on iOptron's whisper-quiet stepper motor system, ensuring accurate, low-power tracking.

Smarter Mount Capabilities Navigating the night sky is a breeze with the Go2Nova hand controller. It taps into a massive database of over 212,000 celestial bodies, helping you easily locate and track anything you want to see. If you're into star-gazing and object-tracking, this mount is a game-changer.

The package comes complete with a tripod, an 11lb counterweight, and all the smart tech you'll need for sky-watching. Just add your own optical tube assembly (OTA), and you're all set for an awesome night under the stars!

(Note: This mount is compatible with the #8027 counterweight.)
