iOptron CEM70-NUC Centre Balance Equatorial Mount
iOptron CEM70-NUC Cable Connections

Need more versatility from an equatorial mount without cable tangling? The CEM70-NUC is ready to mate with Intel® NUC minicomputer (thickness ≤38mm) at the front of dovetail saddle seamlessly with the cable management system.

The CEM70 is the new standard bearer for equatorial mounts in the 70lb payload segment. Retaining the inherent properties of the center balance design, the CEM70 is a relatively compact medium payload mount that delivers what astronomers expect in an efficient accurate portable mount. With precise GOTO pointing and accurate tracking (PE <±5 arcsec) the CEM70 is a solid performer for observers and imagers alike.

Innovative operational features such as the internal iPolar electronic polar scope, easy lock drive gear engagement (levers large enough to use with gloves) and an advanced cable management system for the mount  assures users the CEM70-NUC is designed with their needs in mind.

Features include:

  • A new design, center-balanced equatorial mount (CEM) for maximum payload with natural stability
  • Ideal for both visual observation and astrophotography
  • Payload of 70 lbs (31.8 kg) with the mount weight of 30 lbs (13.6 kg)
  • Easy to use and reliable gear clutches
  • Precision altitude and azimuth adjustment.
  • Precision stepper motor with 0.07 arcsec accuracy for precise GOTO and accurate tracking
  • iPolarTM electronic polar scope
  • Go2Nova® 8410 controller with Advanced GOTONOVA® GOTO Technology with built in heater
  • High precision tracking with low periodic error (PE)<±5 arcsec
  • Permanent periodic error correction (PPEC)
  • 32-channel Global Positioning System (GPS)
  • USB connection
  • Integrated ST-4 autoguiding port
  • Advanced cable management system for mount and NUC
  • Spring loaded 8″ Vixen/Losmandy dual saddle with NUC mounting adapter
