Questions & Answers

Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?Chuck P : Got good reviews on this mount and best price was hereTOM C : On par with the Advanced VX, but includes a nice scope and GPS (not optional like the AVX) and better tracking spec, plus it has a nice goto controller unit, light weight and two year warranty. I did a lot of research and talked to knowledgeable resources and this is currently the best on the market for this price!

About iOptron CEM25P Center-Balanced GoTo Equatorial Mount, 1.5" Tripod and Hard Case

The next step up of CEM25 - Low Periodic Error CEM25P!

The CEM25P has all of the features of the CEM25 and now has a guaranteed low periodic error of approx. +/- 10 Arc seconds or less. The improved tracking accuracy is a product of tighter production tolerances. It also features larger gear switches on both axes, making access and adjustment easier especially with light gloves on.

The Center-balanced Equatorial Mount (CEM), a mount whisper quiet and light weight, uses up to 60% less GOTO power consumption than other mounts in category.

The "Z" design mount puts the weight of the payload at the center of gravity allowing for greater natural stability. Given its payload capacity, this means the "Z" designed mount is unusually light, a nice benefit when setting up at a remote site. Other features include an adjustable counterweight bar to prevent obstruction with the tripod. And polar aligning is quick and accessible all the time since the polar scope is not blocked by the declination shaft.

The CEM25P is equipped with the latest advanced GOTONOVA GOTO technology, making it one of the most powerful and accurate GOTO mounts available. Its database includes over 150,000+ objects. The Go2Nova Hand Controller is intuitive to use and its large 4-line LCD screen simplifies the process of setting telescopes and locating objects.
