iOptron CEM120EC Equatorial Mount

The CEM120EC was created by iOptron following the recognition that there was an increasing demand for accurate and stable equatorial mounts that also have the capability of carrying heavier instruments and more complex imaging arrays. This versatile mount is able to accept up to 115 lb. payloads, while retaining all of the benefits of iOptron's cutting-edge "center balance" design like natural stability, accuracy, and smooth mechanical operation. By focusing the weight of the mount and payload directly over the center of the pier or tripod, the CEM120EC Equatorial Mount offers natural stability.

A low periodic tracking error of <0.15 arcsec RMS demonstrates the CEM120EC's performance. In addition to its natural stability, the CEM120EC contains an advanced cable management system that prevents entanglements and broken cables by providing additional ports. The CEM120EC provides the CEM family with some new features like WiFi and LAN for remote operation, and clutches on both axes that are easy to use and reliable.
