The iOptron CEM26<\/strong> is designed to make your astrophotography simple, precise and portable. This mount combines a cleverly balanced design with modern technology so you can start observing and photographing faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"iOptron<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Smart and stable design<\/strong>
The unique Center-Balanced Equatorial Mount (CEM).<\/strong>-design keeps everything perfectly balanced. The weight of your telescope is directed to the center, making the mount more stable and less shaky. That means sharper images and smooth tracking, even in long exposures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strong, but light<\/strong>
The CEM26 carries telescopes up to 12 kg<\/strong>, while he himself was only 4.5 kg<\/strong> weighs. So you can take it effortlessly to any dark location. The sturdy CNC-machined cast steel construction ensures maximum durability at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"iOptron<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Simple pole alignment<\/strong>
The built-in iPolar electronic polar finder<\/strong> makes alignment fast and accurate - even when the North Star is not visible. You save time at every session and get perfect tracking right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart GoTo technology<\/strong>
With the Go2Nova\u00ae controller<\/strong> you have access to more than 212,000 sky objects<\/strong>. Operation is intuitive and the backlit LCD screen makes it easy to find your target, even in the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect for astrophotography<\/strong>
Thanks to the low periodic error (< \u00b110 arc seconds)<\/strong> and permanent PEC correction<\/strong> follow your recordings smoothly and accurately. The integrated ST-4 autoguiding port<\/strong> and WiFi connection<\/strong> provide direct connection to your camera and PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practical and portable<\/strong>
The adjustable counterweight bar prevents collisions with the tripod at low angles. The included LiteRoc tripod<\/strong> made of stainless steel provides additional stability, while the aluminum transport case<\/strong> keeps everything safe on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why you want the CEM26<\/strong>
You get professional performance in a lightweight, easy-to-use package. Ideal for both visual observation and serious astrophotography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
