Product Details
Please note: This iOptron GEM45 includes and integrated iPolar (polar alignment scope), high-precision encoders, a 1.75-inch tripod, and a custom hard case to fit both.
The iOptron GEM45 computerized mount is an impressive and notable addition to the center-balanced equatorial mounts on the astronomy market today. Coupled with a sleek design and a payload capacity more than doubling its own weight, this full metal mount isn't something to pass up. Whether you're an avid astrophotographer or a dedicated visual observer, this mount will perfectly suit your needs.
Already integrated into this mount on arrival is the electronic polar finder scope, the iPolar. With this, you're sure to have accurate and easy polar alignment whenever you're ready to get out under the stars--even if the pole star is obscured! This is just one of many incredible features of the iOptron GEM45 Mount.
The GEM45 mount uses iOptron's patent-pending Universal Self-Centering Saddle (USCS). This saddle accommodates both Losmandy and Vixen-style dovetail plates. This mount also uses iOptron's ultra-quiet, low-power consumption stepper-motor drive-system, aiding the mount in providing precise tracking.
The iOptron GEM45 mount uses the Go2Nova 8407 hand controller to navigate the night sky. This technology helps observers find celestial objects with the aid of the mount's 212,000+ object database. For those looking for a telescope that has the capability of tracking and finding night sky objects, this mount is a must-have tool.
With the included tripod, 10-pound counterweight, and the mount's computerized technology, observers are just an OTA away from a spectacular viewing experience!
