Description

 

The iOptron CEM40EC is the next level in center-balanced equatorial mounts, combining style with functionality. Not only does it look great, but it performs incredibly well. With a lightweight design of just 15.8 pounds, it can still handle a substantial 40-pound payload!

Revolutionary Features Get ready for some groundbreaking tech! This mount is equipped with the iPolar electronic polar finder scope, ensuring that your telescope is perfectly aligned, even when you can't see the North Star. Plus, the large levers on its quick-lock drive engagement system make gear snapping a breeze.

The CEM40EC offers a dual saddle that's compatible with both Losmandy and Vixen dovetail plates. Coupled with iOptron's ultra-quiet and energy-efficient stepper motor system, you can count on precise tracking.

Smarter Navigation Capabilities Navigating the night sky is effortless with the Go2Nova hand controller. Its extensive database of over 212,000 celestial objects makes finding and tracking heavenly bodies a walk in the park. So, if you're an observer keen on tracking celestial wonders, this mount is essential gear.

Everything but the Telescope The package comes with a tripod, an 11-pound counterweight, and all the computerized tech you need for an amazing observation session. Just add an Optical Tube Assembly (OTA), and you're all set to go!

(Note: This mount utilizes a #8027 counterweight.)
