The iOptron CEM40 is the next generation of center-balanced equatorial mounts. Weighing in at only 7.9kg., the mount can support a payload of up to 18kg.

The CEM40 features the iPolar integrated electronic polar scope. This tool ensures the accurate alignment of a telescope, even when the pole is obscured. There are large levers on the quick-lock drive engagement system to make it easy to snap the gears into place. The gears are spring-loaded for reduced backlash.

This iOptron CEM40 mount has a dual saddle that accommodates Losmandy and Vixen-style dovetail plates. It also uses iOptron's ultra-quiet, low-power consumption stepper motor drive system, aiding the mount in providing precise tracking.

The iOptron CEM40 mount uses the Go2Nova® 8407 hand controller to navigate the night sky. This incredible technology helps observers find celestial objects with the aid of the mount's 212,000+ object database.
