The iOptron CEM40 is a computerized center-balanced equatorial mount designed for both visual astronomy and astrophotography. Despite weighing just 15.8 pounds, it supports a 40-pound payload capacity—over 2.5 times its own mass—thanks to its patented center-balanced design that places the optical tube's weight directly over the mount's center of gravity. The integrated iPolar electronic polar alignment system enables accurate polar alignment globally without relying on Polaris, while the Go2Nova 8407+ hand controller provides GoTo functionality with access to 359,000+ celestial objects. Included with this bundle are the 1.75-inch LiteRoc tripod for optimal balance between portability and stability, and a protective hard case, making this an all-in-one solution for serious astrophotographers and observers.
