The All NEW iOptron CEM120!
An extraordinary innovation in mount design...Now with a new payload!
Recognizing the growing demand for an accurate /*C*and*C*/ stable, equatorial mount with the versatility to carry larger instruments /*C*and*C*/ more complex imaging arrays, we created the iOptron CEM120. It offers the benefits of our revolutionary “center balance” design: stability, accuracy, /*C*and*C*/ smooth mechanical operation, while capable of carrying a payload up to 115 lbs (52 kg). The “center balance” design’s natural stability is due to its focusing the mount along with payloads weight directly over the center of the pier /*C*or*C*/ tripod.
The CEM120's performance is demonstrated by its low periodic tracking /*C*error*C*/ of ±3.5 arc seconds. Along with the stability aspect, the CEM120 features an advanced cable management system consisting of more ports in more locations preventing tangle ups /*C*and*C*/ reducing the chance of fractured cables. It also adds some new features to the CEM family /*C*like*C*/ Wi-Fi /*C*and*C*/ LAN for remote operation /*C*and*C*/ easy to use, reliable clutches on both axes.
The CEM120 is available to order now /*C*and*C*/ will start delivery end of December 2017. | Mount | Center-balanced Equatorial Mount (CEM) | | Payload | 52kg (115 lbs), exclude counterweight* | | Mount weight | 26kg (57 lbs) | | Payload/Mount weight ratio | 2 | | Material | All metal | | Latitude adjustment range | 0°~ 68° (0.5 arcmin division) | | Azimuth adjustment range | ± 5° (3 arcmin division) | | Tracking accuracy (PE) | < ±3.5 arcsec | | Worm period | 240 sec | | PEC | PPEC | | Right Ascension worm wheel | Φ216mm, 360 teeth, zero backlash | | Declination worm wheel | Φ216mm, 360 teeth, zero backlash | | Worm | Φ26mm | | Right Ascension axle | Φ80mm, steel | | Declination axle | Φ80mm, steel | | Right Ascension bearings | Φ125mm | | Declination bearings | Φ125mm | | Counterweight shaft | Φ38.1x 540 mm (SS, anti-slip, 4.5kg) | | Counterweight | 10 kg (22 lbs) | | Mount base size | 210 x 230 mm | | Motor drive | Precision stepper motor w/128 micro-step | | Resolution | 0.07 arc seconds | | Slew speed | 4°/sec (960x) max. | | Hand Controller | Go2Nova? 8407 V2, 8 line 21 /*C*character*C*/ LCD | | Power requirement | DC 12V, 5A | | Power consumption | 0.7A(Tracking),1.8A(GOTO) | | Polar Scope | Optional electronic polar scope | | Meridian treatment | Stop (0-14° pass), auto flip | | Zero position | Automatic zero search | | Park position | Horizontal, vertical, current, alt/azi /*C*input*C*/ | | Level indicator | YES | | Dovetail saddle | Losmandy D, 17.2' (437mm) | | GPS | YES | | Guiding port | ST-4 | | Communication port | RS232, USB, LAN, WiFi | | Cable management | 2xDC12V (1A), DC5V(1A), 2xDC (5A), ST4, 6P6C, 4xUSB2.0, USB3.0 (powered), USB for PS, AUX | | Pier/Tripod | Optional pier | | Warranty | Two year limited | * These are only guidelines. Some telescopes are very long /*C*or*C*/ very big for their weight /*C*and*C*/ may require a larger mount. Remember also that imaging requirements are more rigid than visual observation. | |  |
