Payload: 31.8 kg

Encoders: None

13.6 kg

Includes a FULLY CERTIFIED Australian power supply!

The revolutionary CEM70A is a new standard bearer for equatorial mounts in the 70lb (30+ kg) payload segment.

Retaining the inherent properties of the center balance design, this relatively compact medium payload mount delivers what astronomers expect in an efficient and accurate portable mount. With precise GOTO pointing and accurate tracking (PE <±3.5 arcsec) the CEM70 is a solid performer for observers and imagers alike. The gears are spring-loaded for reduced backlash.

Includes innovative operational features such as the internal iPolar electronic polar scope, easy lock drive gear engagement (levers large enough to use with gloves), an advanced cable management system for the mount, and USB 2 hub on the saddle.

This package includes the CEM70A mount head, iPolar electronic polar scope, 9.5 kg counterweight, and hard case. Does not include a tripod or Tri-Pier.

In order to offer a cheaper shipping option, the counterweight will be shipped separately by Australia Post. For the mount, you have the option to have the mount shipped by TNT or DHL Express at checkout. If you prefer have the mount and the included counterweight shipped by TNT or DHL.
