iOptron GEM45-EC Mount GoTo LiteRoc: German precision mount with RA encoder<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The iOptron GEM45 is a German equatorial GoTo mount with a payload capacity of 20 kg (45 lbs), excluding counterweight, at a head weight of less than 8 kg. The CNC-machined head combines the trusted GEM construction with the weight-saving technology from the CEM series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EC model measures the right ascension axis with a high-resolution encoder and corrects periodic error in real-time. With short and medium focal lengths, you can photograph without autoguiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transport case is included in this set, so the precision head travels safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real-time error correction on the RA axis<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The encoder continuously corrects without PEC training or a guiding camera: sharp stars in long unattended exposures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For long focal lengths, classic autoguiding via the ST-4 port remains possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

GoTo, GPS, and heated handgrips<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Go2Nova 8407 hand controller contains over 200,000 objects and has a display heater for cold nights. The built-in GPS automatically sets the time and position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operation from the computer runs via USB; wireless operation with SkySafari or ASCOM is possible with the optional iStarFi WiFi module. Autoguiding via the ST-4 port.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Silent stepper motors, a periodic error under plus or minus 7 arcseconds with PPEC, and internal cable management that prevents snagging during rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 6-inch saddle accommodates Vixen and Losmandy rails; the large locking levers also work with gloves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
