Welcome  to  a  new  type  of  EQ  mount-  The  iOptron

® 

Center-Balanced  Equatorial  Mount,  CEM!  Its  unique 

balance  design  puts  the  payload  at  the  center  of  gravity  allowing  for  greater  natural  stability.  This  also 
means the mount is extremely light compared to its payload—a nice benefit when setting up at a remote 
site. The adjustable counterweight bar prevents the counterweight from getting in the way of the tripod or 
pier when operating at a low latitude position. Polar aligning is quick and accessible all the time since the 
polar scope is not blocked by the declination shaft.  
 
The CEM60

TM

 mount is equipped with the most advanced GOTONOVA

®

 GOTO technology, making it one 

of  the  most  powerful  and  accurate  GOTO  mounts  available.  The  database  of  a  Go2Nova

®

  8407  hand 

controller  has  over  300,000  objects.  The  other  features  include  a  magnetically  loaded  gear  system,  gear 
switches  on  both  R.A.  and  DEC  axes,  a  screw/worm  type  latitude  adjuster  and  a  built-in  or  customized 
cable management system. The CEM60-- a new category (and payload capacity) of mounts for viewing and 
astrophotography!
