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.
