iOptron CEM40EC Equatorial GoTo Mount with LiteRoc Tripod & Hard Case

In addition to a precision synchronous belt transmission that improves tracking accuracy while reducing vibration, the iOptron CEM40EC Equatorial GoTo Mount gets an upgrade from the standard CEM40 mount that brings periodic tracking errors down to less than 0.25 arcsec by using high-resolution encoders and their Real-Time Periodic Error Correction (RPEC) system. The encoders and RPEC continuously monitor tracking accuracy and make any necessary corrections as soon as errors are detected. This is an invaluable upgrade for astrophotographers who practice long-exposure techniques to keep their star fields tack sharp without streaking or blurring. The CEM40EC has a payload capacity of 40 pounds and an 8" saddle that accepts both Losmandy and Vixen-style dovetail plates, so it can handle just about any optical tube assembly (OTA) and gear you have.
