The iOptron GEM45 is a compact German equatorial mount with a 45-pound payload capacity and a mount head weighing just 15.8 pounds, ideal for serious astrophotographers and visual observers who want robust performance without excessive bulk. The integrated iPolar electronic polar scope provides real-time, software-assisted alignment with sub-arcminute accuracy, even when Polaris isn't visible. Native periodic error is ±7 arcseconds or better without requiring encoders or software corrections. The Go2Nova 8407+ hand controller provides fast access to a 212,000+ object database, with slewing speeds reaching 4.5° per second for pinpoint tracking during long-exposure imaging. This bundle includes a 1.75" LiteRoc tripod and protective hard case for portable observing or travel.
