Building on the successes of earlier CEM mounts, the iOptron CEM70EC Equatorial GoTo Mount Head has an impressive payload capacity with a suite of hardware and software improvements that produce highly accurate alignment and tracking capabilities to make this an ideal mount for observation and astroimaging applications even with large-aperture OTAs and large imaging systems that include filter wheels and guidescopes. Included with the mount is their iconic Go2Nova hand controller, iPolar electronic polar finder, and a hard carrying case to hold it all. You will need to supply a reliable support system for the mount head, such as iOptron's LiteRoc tripod or a permanent pier.

Mount

  • German equatorial configuration provides smooth and accurate celestial tracking for observation or astrophotography
  • Center-balanced " Z" design places the weight over the mount's center of gravity to provide greater stability, smoother movement, and quieter running while requiring less counterweight
  • 70-pound payload capacity, excluding included counterweight, allows the use of larger catadioptric OTAs with imaging systems, filter wheels, and guide scopes
  • 0-65° latitude ± 4° azimuth adjustment range
  • Able to go -10° past the meridian when viewing from high locations like a mountain or balcony with automatic meridian flip
  • Integrated iPolar electronic polar finder works globally no Polaris (north) or Sigma Octantis (south) necessary no need to rotate the mount during alignment
  • Built-in 32-channel GPS receiver for accurate day, date, time, and location information
  • 16" counterweight bar with massive 21-pound counterweight included for proper OTA and load balancing
  • Cable management system utilizes two panels with strategically placed ports to help prevent cord wrap and snag hazards

Motors and Gears

  • Real-Time Periodic Error Correction system with high-resolution encoders continuously and automatically identifies and corrects intrinsic tracking errors to constantly improve accuracy over time
  • Precision tracking with less than ± 0.25 arcsec error
  • 128x microdivision 0.07 arcsec resolution stepper motor
  • 151mm, 248-tooth right ascension (RA) and declination (dec) worm wheels with zero backlash
  • 80mm RA and declination ball bearings provide smooth movement with minimal vibration
  • 55mm steel RA and dec axis shafts
  • RA and declination gear switches release the gears for balancing OTA
  • Low-power consumption: 0.6A (tracking), 0.8A (using GoTo)
  • Runs on included 12 VDC 5A power adapter

Go2Nova 8407+ Hand Controller

  • 212,000+ object database includes the moon, sun, planets, stars, comets, asteroids, and constellations
  • Multiple assisted alignment procedures use the built-in GPS module and iPolar electronic polar finder
  • Slew speeds: 1x, 2x, 8x, 16x, 64x, 128x, 256x, 512x, MAX (3.5° /sec)
  • Tracking rates: Sidereal, Lunar, Solar, King's, user-defined from 0.99x to 1.01x of Sidereal
  • Star Identification function will tell user what star the mount is pointed at after proper alignment
  • Computer control with ASCOM-compliant planetarium software via integrated autoguiding port
  • Control for optional electronic focuser
  • Control optional illuminated polar scope light intensity
  • Fully compatible with mount's integrated GPS module to automatically determine day, date, time, and location
  • Serial port for firmware upgrade
  • Adjustable key and display brightness
  • Integrated heater that ensures the LCD display will work at temperatures as low as -4° F (-20° C)
  • 8-line/21-character LCD screen backlit 19-button user interface
