iOptron CEM26 AccuAlign Mount with 1.5" Tripod

DESCRIPTION

The CEM26 is a compact center-balanced equatorial mount combining natural stability and precision. At only 4.5 kg, it handles payloads up to 12 kg, thanks to its weight-focused center design. It is ideal for both astrophotography and visual use.

It features an AccuAlign optical polar scope, spring-loaded gear system, adjustable counterweight shaft to avoid tripod interference, and a metal CNC-machined body. The polar scope remains unblocked by the DEC shaft, making alignment easy.

Equipped with Go2Nova GoTo technology, it offers 212,000+ celestial objects, intuitive 4-line LCD controller, built-in Wi-Fi, USB connectivity and ST-4 port for autoguiding. Delivered with a 1.5" stainless steel tripod and metal accessory tray.
