The iOptron CEM40EC is a precision-engineered center-balanced equatorial GoTo mount featuring a high-resolution RA encoder that delivers sub-arcsecond tracking accuracy of less than 0.25 arcseconds with real-time periodic error correction (RPEC), ideal for unguided or lightly guided deep-sky astrophotography. Weighing just 15.8 pounds, it supports up to 40 pounds of payload, making it exceptionally portable while maintaining observatory-class performance. The mount includes the integrated iPolar electronic polar alignment system for quick, accurate setup even when Polaris is obscured, a 359,000-object Go2Nova 8407+ hand controller, built-in 32-channel GPS, and comes complete with a hard case and 1.75-inch LiteRoc tripod for field deployment.
