About iOptron CEM60
FEATURED REVIEWS
Super solid mount.
Highly recommended. Extremely well packaged by iOptron, in a metal case. Very clear information provided for each step of the way. Anything I couldn’t figure out was quickly answered by an iOptron representative.
A gem of a GEM.
Fantastic mount!
The iOptron CEM60 Center-Balanced Equatorial Telescope Mount puts the payload at the center of gravity allowing for greater natural stability. This also means the mount is extremely light compared to its payload, a nice benefit when setting up at a remote site. The adjustable counterweight bar prevents the counterweight from getting in the way of the tripod or pier when operating at a low latitude position. Polar aligning is quick and accessible all the time since the polar scope is not blocked by the declination shaft.
The iOptron CEM60 mount is equipped with the most advanced GoToNova GoTo technology, making it one of the most powerful and accurate GoTo mounts available. The database of a Go2Nova 8407 hand controller has over 300, 000 objects. The other features include a magnetically loaded gear system, gear switches on both R.A. and DEC axes, a screw/worm type latitude adjuster and a built-in or customized cable management system. The CEM60 is a new category (and payload capacity) of mounts for viewing and astrophotography.
