The iOptron CEM70EC2W is a center-balanced equatorial GoTo mount engineered for both astrophotography and visual observation, featuring dual high-resolution encoders on both RA and Dec axes for exceptional tracking precision. With a 70-pound payload capacity on a compact 30-pound mount head, it delivers superior weight distribution and stability compared to traditional German equatorial designs. The integrated iPolar electronic polar scope streamlines polar alignment, while WiFi and USB 3.0 connectivity enable wireless control and seamless integration with modern imaging systems. Packed with advanced features like real-time periodic error correction, precise GOTO pointing, and a 212,000-object database via the Go2Nova 8410 controller, this portable mount is ideal for serious astrophotographers seeking precision without sacrificing portability.
