Introducing the iOptron CEM40-NUC: The Next-Gen Equatorial Mount You've Been Waiting For!

Tired of cable mess and compatibility issues with third-party controllers? Say hello to the iOptron mounts designed for Intel® NUC minicomputers! The CEM40-NUC is engineered to seamlessly integrate with an Intel® NUC minicomputer (up to 38mm thick) right on the dovetail saddle, all while offering a slick cable management solution.

The CEM40-NUC isn't just a looker; it's as functional as it gets. This next-level, center-balanced equatorial mount is both aesthetically pleasing and technologically advanced.

Groundbreaking iOptron Tech Inside Step aside for cutting-edge tech! This mount features an integrated electronic polar finder scope known as iPolar, making it a breeze to align your telescope accurately, even if the North Star's playing hide-and-seek. Plus, with the large levers on the quick-lock drive engagement system, snapping the gears into position has never been easier.

The CEM40-NUC is equipped with a dual saddle that's compatible with both Losmandy and Vixen-style dovetail plates. It also sports iOptron's whisper-quiet, energy-efficient stepper motor drive system for precise tracking you can rely on.

Smart Features for Sky Gazing Control the skies with the Go2Nova® hand controller, which lets you explore a database of over 212,000 celestial objects! Whether you're hunting for galaxies, planets, or nebulae, this mount has got you covered.

The package comes complete with a sturdy tripod, an 11lb counterweight, and all the computerized tech you need for a top-notch stargazing session. All you need to add is your Optical Tube Assembly (OTA), and you're good to go for an out-of-this-world experience!

Note: This mount uses an #8027 counterweight.3
