The natural stability of the center-balanced design is due to the weight of the mount and load falling directly on the center of the column or tripod.
The low periodic tracking error of the CEM120 is a testament to the capabilities of this mount.
The CEM120 adds another advantage: an advanced cable management system with more ports in more places. This prevents cable tangling and reduces the possibility of cable breakage.
The mount also introduces some new features to the CEM family, such as wifi and LAN for remote operation and easy-to-use, reliable clutches on both axes.
- Center-balanced equatorial mount (CEM) for maximum payload with natural stability
- Weight of only 26 kg for a mount capable of carrying a payload of 52 kg
- Easy to use and reliable gear clutches
- Precise elevation and azimuth adjustment
- Precision stepper motor with 0.07 arc-second accuracy for precise GOTO and tracking
- Polar alignment routine for those who can't see Polar
- Go2Nova® 8407 V2 controller with advanced GOTO GOTONOVA® technology with built-in heater
- Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC) or real-time PEC for CEM120EC and CEM120EC2
- 32-channel global positioning system (GPS)
- Built-in Wifi and LAN for remote operation
- ST-4 autoguiding port
- Advanced cable management system with more options
- Losmandy style plate with suspension bracket, which can be individually adjusted.
The CEM 120 is available in three versions: the CEM120, CEM120EC and CEM120EC2. The EC versions have high-resolution encoders for near error-free real-time tracking, the EC2 has the encoders on both axes.
