The iOptron CEM26<\/strong> is built to make your observations effortless and accurate. It combines a sturdy carrying capacity with a lightweight design, making it easy to transport and set up quickly. Ideal for those who love efficiency - whether you plan to observe or photograph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Smartly balanced for maximum stability<\/strong>
The CEM26's secret weapon is its unique Center-Balanced Equatorial Mount (CEM).<\/strong>-design. The weight of your telescope is perfectly directed to the center of the tripod. This keeps the mount stable, even during longer exposures. Less vibration means sharper images - exactly what you need for astrophotography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready for every session<\/strong>
The CEM26 can handle up to 12 kg<\/strong> carry but only weighs itself 4.5 kg<\/strong>. That's an impressive ratio, giving you power without heavy lifting. The extendable counterweight bar prevents your tripod from getting hit in low positions. Handy when working on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Fast, accurate alignment<\/strong>
With the included AccuAlign pole finder<\/strong> and the smart Easy Polar Alignment<\/strong>-function, you don't even need to see the North Star to align precisely. The built-in WiFi and Go2Nova\u00ae handheld controller<\/strong> with more than 212,000 objects<\/strong> bring the universe literally at your fingertips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smooth tracking for razor-sharp results<\/strong>
Thanks to the quiet stepper motors<\/strong> and Periodic Error Correction (PEC).<\/strong> the CEM26 tracks celestial bodies smoothly and stably. Your tracking remains tight even at long exposure times - perfect for detailed shots of nebulae, star clusters and planets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sturdy, reliable and easy to use<\/strong>
The LiteRoc stainless steel tripod legs<\/strong> ensure a solid base and minimal vibrations. With the built-in WiFi system, USB port and autoguiding interface, everything is prepared for modern astrophotography. Whether you work with a laptop, tablet or camera - the CEM26 connects seamlessly to your setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supplied complete<\/strong>
You get everything you need: the CEM26 mount, LiteRoc tripod, AccuAlign polar finder, counterweight, cables and a sturdy aluminum transport case with foam lining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The iOptron CEM26 - compact, precise and built for serious stargazers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
