CEM 120 center balance equatorial mount
Two new high payload capacity equatorial mounts !
It's been a long time coming, but the next step in the "center balance" design revolution is here, introducing the CEM120 equatorial mount. The new high payload CEM series mounts were created in response to the growing demand for an accurate, stable equatorial mount with the versatility to carry larger instruments and complex imaging arrays. The mount offers the benefits of our revolutionary "center balance" design: stability, accuracy, and smooth mechanical operation with a large payload capacity of 115 lbs, (52kg). The natural ability of the center balance design is due to its focusing its payloads weight directly over the center of its pier or tripod. The CEM120's performance is demonstrated by its low +/- 3.5 arcsecond periodic error, which is further reduced to <0.15 arcsecond RMS in the CEM120EC model. Additionally, the CEM120 features an advanced cable management system consisting of several pass-through ports to prevent tangles and reducing the chance of split cables in cold temperatures. It also adds new features to the CEM family including built-in Wi-Fi and LAN for remote operation and easy to use clutches on both axes. The CEM120 will initially be available in two versions, the CEM120 and the CEM120EC which includes high-resolution encoders for real-time, nearly error-free tracking. Contact
