The mount head weighs only 8.2 kg, yet can support a payload of up to 18 kg. This extremly good payload to weight ratio of 2.5 makes the CEM40 versatile. You can carry it to your favoriert place under a dark sky or at your backyard observatory with a relatively small pier.
But there are more advantages:
- An integrated electronic polar finder scope (iPolar) ensures accurate alignment even at times when the pole star is obscured.
- Large levers on its quick-lock drive engagement system make it easy to snap its gears into place even when wearing gloves.
- There's little chance of your cables getting snagged with the CEM40's internal cable management system.
- The mount comes with the new Universal Self-Centering Saddle for Losmandy and Vixen style dovetails.
- The CNC body looks sharp but is really robust.
The GoTo-Technology features a Go2Nova 8407+ controller with integrated heater for its large display, a 212,000 object library, integrated 32-channel-GPS and ST-4 auto guiding port.
Another great feature besides the center-balance is the ultra-quiet low power consumption stepper motor drive systems. Both models of the CEM40 are precise trackers, the CEM40-EC version delivering <0.25 arcsecond accuracy with its high-resolution encoder and its real time periodic error correction (RPEC).
The CEM40 is a extremly versatile and advanced mount.
Please note: This mount is available in two variants. The mount with G in the designation also has an autoguider integrated into the mount head, the new iGuider from iOptron! So with this variant of the mount, a separate autoguider solution is no longer necessary!
The variant without iGuider can be equipped with an external solution for tracking control. Such tracking controls are only necessary for astrophotography with long exposure times.
With or without encoder: The mount is available in two versions, both of which track your optics precisely in the night sky. The variant with high-resolution encoders (EC) on both axes achieves an accuracy of less than 0.25 angular seconds and corrects the periodic screw error in real time! As a result, guiding is no longer necessary in astrophotography.
This mount already comes with iOptron's newly developed LiteRoc tripod.
The iOptron LiteRoc tripod is a newly developed tripod which is as light as possible but as sturdy as necessary. It, therefore, fits in well with other transportable mounts for mobile observers and astrophotographers. The LiteRoc tripod has a sturdier socket for its extending tripod legs and a larger locking lever compared to its predecessor. The upper tripod legs have a diameter of 45mm (1.75”) and the lower section, one of 38mm (1.5”). This makes the extending legs just as strong as the legs on the earlier 2” tripod. Due to the upper part’s narrower design, the LiteRoc is lighter.
