The frame weighs only 8.2 kilograms , but carries optical instruments and accessories up to 18 kilograms . This excellent payload-to-weight ratio of 2.5 is the reason why the CEM40 is so versatile. You can carry it to the best observation sites under dark skies or place it on a small column in your garden observatory.

But the mount has even more advantages:

• The seeker iPolar integrated electronic polar makes perfect north mount alignment a breeze, even when North Star is obscured! Note: To use the iPolar you need a laptop or PC.
• THE large clamps they also allow gloved hands to decouple the engine from the gearbox to move the axles freely.
• There internal cable management prevents tangles and breakage.
• The saddle universal self-centering newly developed accepts standard guides for Losmandy and Vixen prisms and provides precise alignment of the optics.
• The CNC machined housing Not only does it look elegant, but it is also durable.

The GoTo computer control includes modern Go2Nova 8407+ control panel , which incorporates a heating system so that the display does not fog up due to dew. The database contains over 212,000 objects! Furthermore, the control is equipped with a 32-channel GPS , which saves you the hassle of entering the date, location and time. Of course, the mount has an ST-4 connector for autoguiders.

In addition to the special design of the CEM, the drive is a special feature of this mount. The drive is very quiet with stepper motors it is ideal for balcony observatories and consumes relatively little energy.

The CEM40 is a very versatile and advanced mount!

With or without encoder : The mount is available in two versions, both of which precisely track your optics in the night sky. The version with high resolution (EC) encoders on both axes achieves an accuracy better than 0.25 angular seconds and corrects the periodic error of the worm in real time! This eliminates the need for guidance in astrophotography.
