The revolutionary CEM70G is a new standard bearer for equatorial mounts in the 70lb payload segment. Packed with advanced features, the CEM70G is the first of its type with an onboard optical guiding system increasing tracking accuracy while streamlining the components resulting in a more portable imaging setup.
Retaining the inherent properties of the center balance design, this relatively compact medium payload mount delivers what astronomers expect in an efficient and accurate portable mount. With precise GOTO pointing and accurate tracking (PE <±3.5 arcsec) the CEM70 is a solid performer for observers and imagers alike. The gears are spring-loaded for reduced backlash.
Includes innovative operational features such as the internal iPolar electronic polar scope, easy lock drive gear engagement (levers large enough to use with gloves), an advanced cable management system for the mount, and iGuider. On top of the built-in guiding system the CEM70G also comes standard with WiFi and USB 3.0.
This package includes the CEM70G mount head, iPolar electronic polar scope, iGuider onboard autoguiding camera, 9.5 kg counterweight, and hard case. Does not include a tripod or Tri-Pier.
