The\u00a0iOptron CEM40<\/strong>\u00a0combines portability, precision and power in one impressive package. With only\u00a08.2 kg own weight<\/strong>\u00a0carry it effortlessly to dark observation spots, while it\u00a0optics up to 18 kg<\/strong>\u00a0stable supports. Ideal for mobile astrophotographers as well as fixed setups in your garden observatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart design for maximum performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The unique\u00a0CEM (Center-Balanced Equatorial Mount) design.<\/strong>\u00a0distributes weight perfectly, so the mount moves more smoothly and tracks more accurately. You benefit from a\u00a0quiet, energy-efficient drive<\/strong>\u00a0with stepper motors - ideal for balcony observations or nights when rest counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The integrated\u00a0iPolar electronic polar finder<\/strong>\u00a0makes alignment child's play. Even without a view of the North Star, you'll find true north effortlessly. (A laptop or PC is required.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Intuitive operation with GoTo accuracy.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Go2Nova 8407+ hand controller<\/strong>\u00a0provides access to\u00a0more than 359,000 celestial bodies<\/strong>. The bright, heated display remains readable even on cold nights. Thanks to the\u00a032-channel GPS<\/strong>\u00a0you never have to manually enter time, date or location again - it all happens automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system also includes a ST-4 connection<\/strong> for autoguiders, so you're ready for astrophotography right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart cable management and universal compatibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The internal cable system<\/strong> Prevents entanglement and cable breakage - a great advantage in extended sessions.
The new Universal Self-Centering Saddle<\/strong> supports both Losmandy- like Vixen swallowtails<\/strong>, so you can mount almost any telescope without any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CNC-machined aluminum housing<\/strong> not only looks beautiful, but also provides years of reliable stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect tracking, with or without encoders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The CEM40 is available in two versions. The standard version already offers excellent tracking, while the\u00a0CEM40-EC<\/strong>\u00a0with high-resolution encoders on both axes achieves an unprecedented accuracy of\u00a0less than 0.25 arc second<\/strong>. This corrects worm error in real time - so you can shoot without guiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light and stable - the LiteRoc tripod<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The mount comes with the\u00a0LiteRoc tripod<\/strong>, specially designed for maximum stability with minimal weight. The\u00a0Reinforced legs (45 mm top, 38 mm bottom)<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0larger clamping levers<\/strong>\u00a0Offer extra grip and security at every session. Perfect for those who are often on the go, but don't want to compromise on toughness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you get:<\/strong>
\u2713 Lightweight portability with professional precision
\u2713 iPolar pole alignment - fast, simple and accurate
\u2713 GoTo system with GPS and heated display
\u2713 Internal cable management - no more tangling
\u2713 Includes sturdy LiteRoc tripod and transport case<\/p>\n\n\n\n
