The CEM70 series mounts are new standard bearers for equatorial mounts in the 70lb payload segment. These mounts are packed with many advanced features however the CEM70EC also includes a high resolution optical encoder on the RA axis.

Retaining the inherent properties of the centre balance design, the CEM70 series compact medium payload mounts deliver what astronomers expect in an efficient accurate portable mount. With precise GOTO pointing and accurate tracking, the CEM70EC is a solid performer for observers and imagers alike.

Innovative operational features such as the internal iPolar electronic polar scope, easy lock drive gear engagement (levers large enough to use with gloves) and advanced cable management system for the mount assure users the CEM70 has been designed with their needs in mind.
