Since that time, many more astro-imagers and planetarium controlled setups have emerged as backyard telescope technology has evolved.

Key design goals included a lower profile EQ head, which provides a more compact and therefore more stable setup; a better drive system; remote operation-friendly with home and limit optical sensors; easier polar alignment adjustments; and better cable management. In addition to that, Celestron made mechanical and ergonomic improvements throughout to make the mount sturdier, easier to use, and transport.

The “center balance” design’s natural stability is due to its focusing the mount along with any payload's weight directly over the center of the pier or tripod. The CEM120EC performance is demonstrated by its low periodic tracking error of  \u0026lt; 0.15 arcsecond RMS for this EC model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong with stability, the CEM120EC Center Balanced Equatorial Mount features an advanced cable management system consisting of more ports in more locations, preventing cable tangles and reducing the chance of fractured cables. It also adds some new features to the CEM family like Wi-Fi and LAN for remote operation and easy to use, reliable clutches on both axes.

equatorial mount provides an observatory class mount which will benefit you and all every day astrophotographers. With its 110 pound payload capacity and high-end imaging features, this mount offers the capacity to hold some of the largest telescope systems you might wish to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is the EQ8-R Equatorial Mount Head only, with included counterweights; SKU S30612. \u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Pier Tripod is NOT included with this model. This Head only model is designed for those who wish to install this mount in an observatory which already has a permanent pier in place! Experience their High Payload capacity. The EQ8-R series (this mount and the other models) feature a massive 110 pound (50 kg) payload capacity, to handle your large, heavy telescope and associated equipment. All-metal precision internal construction makes this mount strong and stable. The EQ8-R is a perfect mount for supporting even the largest OTAs Sky-Watcher offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding on the legacy of Sky-Watcher’s popular EQ8 mount, the new EQ8-R introduces upgrades and enhancements that make observatory-class astrophotography easier than ever and within your budget. Whisper -quiet dual belt drives greatly reduce Periodic Error while providing enhanced tracking and guiding with very low inherent noise output. The cleverly designed cable management system eliminates cable drag and makes remote set-up of your equipment ultimately convenient. Both the RA and Dec motor assemblies drive the mount using ultra-smooth belt drives. This reduces the amount of gearing needed which reduces backlash in the system and periodic error overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other Sky-Watcher mounts the EQ8-R series features a built-in SNAP port. This allows you to plug in your DSLR or mirrorless camera of choice and control the shutter through the hand controller. The camera will require the appropriate (optional) cable to make this connection. Sky-Watcher offers these cables. A built-in USB-3.0 port is situated on the mount to allow a direct connection to your computer, no hand controller needed! Plug it in, power on the Sky-Watcher SynScan Pro app for Windows and take control of your mount with your computer (PC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImproved Motor Placement: Developed from the original EQ8, the EQ8-R series features improved motor positioning.

Whisper -quiet dual belt drives greatly reduce Periodic Error while providing enhanced tracking and guiding with very low inherent noise output. The cleverly designed cable management system eliminates cable drag and makes remote set-up of your equipment ultimately convenient. Both the RA and Dec motor assemblies drive the mount using ultra-smooth belt drives. This reduces the amount of gearing needed which reduces backlash in the system and periodic error overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other Sky-Watcher mounts the EQ8-R series features a built-in SNAP port. This allows you to plug in your DSLR or mirrorless camera of choice and control the shutter through the hand controller. The camera will require the appropriate (optional) cable to make this connection. Sky-Watcher offers these cables. A built-in USB-3.0 port is situated on the mount to allow a direct connection to your computer, no hand controller needed! Plug it in, power on the Sky-Watcher SynScan Pro app for Windows and take control of your mount with your computer (PC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImproved Motor Placement: Developed from the original EQ8, the EQ8-R series features improved motor positioning.

Using ideas and engineering applied to a time tested design, the iOptron GEM45 brings you the next generation German equatorial mount. A sharp looking CNC body is the first indicator the GEM45 is a top quality mount; you will find this is true in both form and its function. Utilizing clever engineering, they were able to remove unnecessary bulk giving the iOptron GEM45 Equatorial Mount Head an incredible 2.8 x payload-to-mount weight ratio. This compact mount can precisely GOTO an object and track it with up to 45 lb of gear on-board, but while the Head weighs only 15.8 lb. An amazing feat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its integrated electronic polar scope (iPolar Scope), polar alignment is a snap, even when the pole star is obscured. Large levers are included on the quick-lock drive engagement system. These levers make it easy to snap its drive gears into place even when wearing gloves. There is little chance of your cables getting snagged with the GEM45's internal advanced cable management system. This iOptron GEM45 Equatorial Mount Head is the ideal, easy-to-use equatorial GoTo mount system which will satisfy all your observing and astro-imaging needs for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new, patent-pending Universal Self-Centering Saddle (USCS) accommodates both the Losmandy and Vixen style dovetail plates. GEM45 mounts utilize reliable stepper motor drive systems for accurate pointing and tracking. These motors have a low power-consumption technology. A 212,000+ object library with star identification, GPS, Wi-Fi (requires optional iStarFi adapter) are a few of the desirable features standard on a GEM45 mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn Optional Purchase of the new LiteRoc 1.75\" tripod will give your telescope system a super rock-solid stability in a lighter, more compact package.

Using ideas and engineering applied to a time tested design, the iOptron GEM45EC brings you the next generation German equatorial mount. A sharp looking CNC body is the first indicator the GEM45EC is a top quality mount; you will find this is true in both form and its function. Utilizing clever engineering, they were able to remove unnecessary bulk giving the iOptron GEM45EC Equatorial Mount Head an incredible 2.8 x payload-to-mount weight ratio. This compact mount can precisely GOTO an object and track it with up to 45 lb of gear on-board, but while the Head weighs only 15.8 lb. An amazing feat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iOptron GEM45ECA Equatorial Mount with its included high resolution encoder system delivers a Periodic Error of less than 0.25 arcsecond RMS. This added feature will give you the precision tracking you need for the best possible astro-imaging results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its integrated electronic polar scope (iPolar Scope), polar alignment is a snap, even when the pole star is obscured. Large levers are included on the quick-lock drive engagement system. These levers make it easy to snap its drive gears into place even when wearing gloves. There is little chance of your cables getting snagged with the GEM45EC's internal advanced cable management system. This iOptron GEM45EC Equatorial Mount Head is the ideal, easy-to-use equatorial GoTo mount system which will satisfy all your observing and astro-imaging needs for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new, patent-pending Universal Self-Centering Saddle (USCS) accommodates both the Losmandy and Vixen style dovetail plates. GEM45EC mounts utilize reliable stepper motor drive systems for accurate pointing and tracking. These motors have a low power-consumption technology. A 212,000+ object library with star identification, GPS, Wi-Fi (requires optional iStarFi adapter) are a few of the desirable features standard on a GEM45EC mount. This package includes the LiteRoc Tripod, one 11 pound Counterweight, and an aluminum Hard Carrying Case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new LiteRoc 1.75\" tripod will give your telescope system a super rock-solid stability in a lighter, more compact package.

Equatorial Mount Head proves that iOptron has done it again! Using ideas and engineering applied to a time tested design, the iOptron GEM45 brings you the next generation German equatorial mount. A sharp looking CNC body is the first indicator the GEM45 is a top quality mount; you will find this is true in both form and its function. Utilizing clever engineering, they were able to remove unnecessary bulk giving the iOptron GEM45 Equatorial Mount Head an incredible 2.8 X payload-to-mount weight ratio. This compact mount can precisely GOTO an object and track it with up to 45 lb of gear on-board, but while the Head weighs only 15.8 lb. An amazing feat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iOptron GEM45A Equatorial Mount delivers a Periodic Error of less than 7 arcsecond. This will give you the precision tracking you need for the best possible astro-imaging results, along with a great payload capacity and easy operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its integrated electronic polar scope (iPolar Scope), polar alignment is a snap, even when the pole star is obscured. Large levers are included on the quick-lock drive engagement system. These levers make it easy to snap its drive gears into place even when wearing gloves. There is little chance of your cables getting snagged with the GEM45's internal advanced cable management system. This iOptron GEM45 Equatorial Mount Head is the ideal, easy-to-use equatorial GoTo mount system which will satisfy all your observing and astro-imaging needs for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new, patent-pending Universal Self-Centering Saddle (USCS) accommodates both the Losmandy and Vixen style dovetail plates. GEM45 mounts utilize reliable stepper motor drive systems for accurate pointing and tracking. These motors have a low power-consumption technology. A 212,000+ object library with star identification, GPS, Wi-Fi (requires optional iStarFi adapter) are a few of the desirable features standard on a GEM45 mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new LiteRoc 1.75\" tripod will give your telescope system a super rock-solid stability in a lighter, more compact package.

Using ideas and engineering applied to a time tested design, the iOptron GEM45 brings you the next generation German equatorial mount. A sharp looking CNC body is the first indicator the GEM45 is a top quality mount; you will find this is true in both form and its function. Utilizing clever engineering, they were able to remove unnecessary bulk giving the iOptron GEM45 Equatorial Mount Head an incredible 2.8 X payload-to-mount weight ratio. This compact mount can precisely GOTO an object and track it with up to 45 lb of gear on-board, but while the Head weighs only 15.8 lb. An amazing feat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iOptron GEM45A Equatorial Mount delivers a Periodic Error of less than 7 arcsecond. This will give you the precision tracking you need for the best possible astro-imaging results, along with a great payload capacity and easy operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its integrated electronic polar scope (iPolar Scope), polar alignment is a snap, even when the pole star is obscured. Large levers are included on the quick-lock drive engagement system. These levers make it easy to snap its drive gears into place even when wearing gloves. There is little chance of your cables getting snagged with the GEM45's internal advanced cable management system. This iOptron GEM45 Equatorial Mount Head is the ideal, easy-to-use equatorial GoTo mount system which will satisfy all your observing and astro-imaging needs for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new, patent-pending Universal Self-Centering Saddle (USCS) accommodates both the Losmandy and Vixen style dovetail plates. GEM45 mounts utilize reliable stepper motor drive systems for accurate pointing and tracking. These motors have a low power-consumption technology. A 212,000+ object library with star identification, GPS, Wi-Fi (requires optional iStarFi adapter) are a few of the desirable features standard on a GEM45 mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new LiteRoc 1.75\" tripod will give your telescope system a super rock-solid stability in a lighter, more compact package. Ideal for critical observing and astro-imaging.

Using ideas and engineering applied to a time tested design, the iOptron GEM45 brings you the next generation German equatorial mount. An elegant CNC body is the first indicator the GEM45 is a top quality mount; you will find this is true in both its form and its function. Utilizing clever engineering, they were able to remove unnecessary bulk giving the iOptron GEM45 Equatorial Mount Head an incredible 2.8 X payload-to-mount weight ratio. This compact mount can precisely GOTO an object and track it with up to 45 lb of gear on-board, but while the Head weighs only 17.5 lb. An amazing feat. This model also includes the iOptron iGuider electronic Guiding Camera as well to make your imaging tasks even easier. The iGuider consists of a 30 mm f\/4 lens and a 1\/3\" CCD camera with 3.75 um pixels. The lens and sensor are all nicely and unobtrusively tucked away in the mount saddle. The iPolar, iGuider, and an extra USB port on the dovetail saddle are all connected through one USB connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iOptron GEM45A Equatorial Mount delivers a Periodic Error of less than 7 arcsecond. This will give you the precision tracking you need for the best possible astro-imaging results, along with a great payload capacity and easy operation. Plus now in this model, you get the iGuider system from iOptron. This iGuider system is an autoguiding optical system built into the dovetail saddle and it supports ASCOM guiding. You will need to use the iOptron Commander\/ASCOM Drive software based on your particular mount type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its integrated electronic polar scope (iPolar Scope), polar alignment is a snap, even when the pole star is obscured. This model also includes the iOptron iGuider. Large levers are included on the quick-lock drive engagement system. These levers make it easy to snap its drive gears into place even when wearing gloves. There is little chance of your cables getting snagged with the GEM45's internal advanced cable management system. This iOptron GEM45 Equatorial Mount Head with iGuider electronic camera system is the ideal, easy-to-use equatorial GoTo mount system which will satisfy all your observing and astro-imaging needs for years to come. This mount is especially great for astro-imaging because of its included iGuider camera system from iOptron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new, patent-pending Universal Self-Centering Saddle (USCS) accommodates both the Losmandy and Vixen style dovetail plates. GEM45 mounts utilize reliable stepper motor drive systems for accurate pointing and tracking. These motors have a low power-consumption technology. A 212,000+ object library with star identification, GPS, Wi-Fi (requires optional iStarFi adapter) are a few of the desirable features standard on a GEM45 mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new LiteRoc 1.75\" tripod will give your telescope system a super rock-solid stability in a lighter, more compact package.

Using ideas and engineering applied to a time tested design, the iOptron CEM70 brings you the next generation Center Balanced Equatorial mount. An elegant CNC body is the first indicator the CEM70 is a top quality mount; you will find this is true in both its form and its function. Utilizing clever engineering, they were able to provide the iOptron CEM70 Center Balanced Mount Head an incredible 2.33 X payload-to-mount weight ratio. This heavy-duty mount can precisely GO-TO an object and track it with up to 70 lb of gear on-board, but while the Head weighs only 30 lb. An amazing feat. This model also includes the iOptron iPolar electronic Polar Scope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iOptron CEM70 (C70A) Center Balanced Mount delivers a Periodic Error of less than ±3.5 arcsecond, (based upon measurements the manufacturer has made with the encoder, on the bench, with a 348 second period.) This will give you the precision tracking you need for the best possible astro-imaging results, along with a great payload capacity and easy operation. The superb mechanical construction and choice of premium drive components for this mount provides the tracking and slewing performance you expect from iOptron. Retaining the inherent properties of the center balance design, this relatively compact medium payload mount delivers what astronomers expect in an efficient accurate portable mount. With precise GOTO pointing and accurate tracking (PE \u0026lt;±3.5 arcsec) the CEM70 is a solid tracking mount for both observers and imagers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its integrated electronic polar scope (iPolar Scope), polar alignment is a snap, even when the pole star is obscured. Large levers are included on the quick-lock drive engagement system. These levers make it easy to snap its drive gears into place even when wearing gloves. There is little chance of your cables getting snagged with the CEM70's internal advanced cable management system. This iOptron CEM70 Center Balanced Mount Head is the ideal, easy-to-use Center Balanced GoTo mount system for heavier telescopes or imaging systems, in the up-to 70 lb range, which will satisfy all your observing and astro-imaging needs for years to come. This mount is especially easy to set up with its included iPolar electronic polar scope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new, patent-pending Universal Self-Centering Saddle (USCS) accommodates both the Losmandy and Vixen style dovetail plates.

But, it can support up to a 26 lb payload an incredible 2.6 mount weight-to-payload ratio. The key to providing such an impressive ratio is the \"CEM design\" which focuses the mount and payload weight directly on the center of the tripod rendering “natural stability”. The center-balanced design mount puts the weight of the payload at the center of gravity allowing for greater mechanical mount stability. Other features include an adjustable counterweight bar to prevent obstruction with the tripod. And polar aligning is quick and accessible all the time, because the polar scope is not blocked by the declination shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, iOptron has added features for convenience and functionality.

But, it can support up to a 26 lb payload an incredible 2.6 mount weight-to-payload ratio. The key to providing such an impressive ratio is the \"CEM design\" which focuses the mount and payload weight directly on the center of the tripod rendering “natural stability”. The center-balanced design mount puts the weight of the payload at the center of gravity allowing for greater mechanical mount stability. Other features include an adjustable counterweight bar to prevent obstruction with the tripod. And polar aligning is quick and accessible all the time, because the polar scope is not blocked by the declination shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, iOptron has added features for convenience and functionality.

But, it can support up to a 26 lb payload an incredible 2.6 mount weight-to-payload ratio. The key to providing such an impressive ratio is the \"CEM design\" which focuses the mount and payload weight directly on the center of the tripod rendering “natural stability”. The center-balanced design mount puts the weight of the payload at the center of gravity allowing for greater mechanical mount stability. Other features include an adjustable counterweight bar to prevent obstruction with the tripod. And polar aligning is quick and accessible all the time, because the polar scope is not blocked by the declination shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, iOptron has added features for convenience and functionality. A positive lock gear engagement system (easy to use even when wearing gloves), built-in Wi-Fi, enabling unparalleled connectivity, and recordable permanent periodic error correction (PPEC) to repeat optimal PEC training sessions.

Using ideas and engineering applied to a time tested design, the iOptron CEM70EC brings you the next generation German Center Balanced mount. An elegant CNC body is the first indicator the CEM70EC is a top quality mount; you will find this is true in both its form and its function. Utilizing clever engineering, they were able to provide the iOptron CEM70EC Center Balanced Mount Head an incredible 2.33 X payload-to-mount weight ratio. This iOptron CEM70EC Center Balanced Mount is also the advanced, high-performance \"EC\" Model, the C704A0. This heavy-duty mount can precisely GO-TO an object and track it with up to 70 lb of gear on-board, but while the Head weighs only 30 lb. An amazing feat. This model also includes the iOptron iPolar electronic Polar Scope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iOptron CEM70EC Center Balanced Mount delivers a Real-time Periodic Error of less than 0.3 arcsecond RMS. This is primarily accomplished by using a high-resolution optical encoder on the R.A. axis, and also by its advanced real-time RPEC error correction capability. This ensures the precision tracking you need for the best possible astro-imaging results, along with a great payload capacity and easy operation. The superb mechanical construction and choice of premium drive components for this mount provides the tracking and slewing performance you expect from iOptron. Retaining the inherent properties of the center balance design, this relatively compact medium payload mount delivers what astronomers expect in an efficient accurate portable mount. With precise GOTO pointing and accurate tracking (PE \u0026lt;0.3 arcsec RMS) the CEM70EC is a solid tracking and exceptional mount for both observers and imagers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its integrated electronic polar scope (iPolar Scope), polar alignment is a snap, even when the pole star is obscured. This model also includes the iOptron iGuider. Large levers are included on the quick-lock drive engagement system. These levers make it easy to engage its drive gears into place even when wearing gloves. There is little chance of your cables getting snagged with the CEM70's internal advanced cable management system. This iOptron CEM70EC Center Balanced Mount Head is the ideal, easy-to-use Center Balanced GoTo mount system for heavier telescopes or imaging systems, in the up-to 70 lb range, which will satisfy all your observing and astro-imaging needs for years to come. This mount is especially easy to set up and polar align with its included iPolar electronic polar scope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new, patent-pending Universal Self-Centering Saddle (USCS) accommodates both the Losmandy and Vixen style dovetail plates. CEM70 mounts utilize reliable stepper motor drive systems for accurate pointing and tracking. These motors have a low power-consumption technology.

Using ideas and engineering applied to a time tested design, the iOptron CEM40-NUC brings you the next generation Center Balanced Equatorial mount. An elegant CNC body is the first indicator the CEM40-NUC is a top quality mount; you will find this is true in both its form and its function. Utilizing clever engineering, they were able to provide the iOptron CEM40-NUC Center Balanced Mount Head with an incredible 2.30 payload-to-mount weight ratio. This heavy-duty mount can precisely GO-TO an object and track it with up to 40 lb of gear on-board, but while the Head weighs only 17.4 lb. An amazing feat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concept of the \"NUC\" (stands for \"Next Unit of Computing\") was designed and introduced by Intel Corporation; first launched in early 2013. The NUC has since developed over ten generations. The NUC motherboard usually measures approximately 4\" by 4\" (10.16 cm by 10.16 cm), which tends to promote a small sized package. NUC is a line of small-form-factor barebone computer kits or custom-configured computer modules which can be structured in various ways, to satisfy a customer's specific needs. Various versions of a NUC computer are now available for purchase via the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA true barebone NUC kit consist of the board, in a plastic case with a fan, an external power supply, and a VESA mounting plate. Intel will sell just the NUC motherboards, which have a built-in CPU. The user can configure the rest per their need. This does require some detailed computer knowledge. Third-party cases for NUC boards are also available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iOptron NUC mounts feature a bracket located at the lower front position of the saddle which will securely hold the NUC mini-computer in place. They have provisions for the mount control connections (LAN and USB) and power (19 Volts or optional 12 Volts DC) located next to the NUC computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e This Mount does NOT include a NUC mini-computer!

This will give you the precision tracking you need for the best possible astro-imaging results, along with a great payload capacity and easy operation. The superb mechanical construction and choice of premium drive components for this mount provides the tracking and slewing performance you expect from iOptron. Retaining the inherent properties of the center balance design, this relatively compact medium payload mount delivers what astronomers expect in an efficient accurate portable mount. With precise GOTO pointing and accurate tracking (PE \u0026lt; ±7 arcsec) the CEM40-NUC is a solid tracking mount for both observers and imagers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge levers are included on the quick-lock drive engagement system. These levers make it easy to snap its drive gears into place even when wearing gloves. There is little chance of your cables getting snagged with the CEM40-NUC's internal advanced cable management system. This iOptron CEM40-NUC Center Balanced Mount Head is the ideal, easy-to-use Center Balanced GoTo mount system for heavier telescopes or imaging systems, in the up-to 40 lb range, which will satisfy all your observing and astro-imaging needs for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new, patent-pending Universal Self-Centering Saddle (USCS) accommodates both the Losmandy and Vixen style dovetail plates. CEM40-NUC mounts utilize reliable stepper motor drive systems for accurate pointing and tracking. These motors have a low power-consumption technology.

Head proves that iOptron has done it again! Using ideas and engineering applied to a time tested design, the iOptron CEM40EC-NUC brings you the next generation Center Balanced Equatorial mount. An elegant CNC body is the first indicator the CEM40EC-NUC is a top quality mount; you will find this is true in both its form and its function. Utilizing clever engineering, they were able to provide the iOptron CEM40EC-NUC Center Balanced Mount Head with an incredible 2.30 payload-to-mount weight ratio. This heavy-duty mount can precisely GO-TO an object and track it with up to 40 lb of gear on-board, but while the Head weighs only 17.4 lb. An amazing feat. This is the \"EC\" model, which incorporates a High-Resolution optical encoder. It provides a Periodic encoder error less than ±0.3 arcsecond RMS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concept of the \"NUC\" (stands for \"Next Unit of Computing\") was designed and introduced by Intel Corporation; first launched in early 2013. The NUC has since developed over ten generations. The NUC motherboard usually measures approximately 4\" by 4\" (10.16 cm by 10.16 cm), which tends to promote a small sized package. NUC is a line of small-form-factor barebone computer kits or custom-configured computer modules which can be structured in various ways, to satisfy a customer's specific needs. Various versions of a NUC computer are now available for purchase via the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA true barebone NUC kit consist of the board, in a plastic case with a fan, an external power supply, and a VESA mounting plate. Intel will sell just the NUC motherboards, which have a built-in CPU. The user can configure the rest per their need. This does require some detailed computer knowledge. Third-party cases for NUC boards are also available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iOptron NUC mounts feature a bracket located at the lower front position of the saddle which will securely hold the NUC mini-computer in place. They have provisions for the mount control connections (LAN and USB) and power (19 Volts or optional 12 Volts DC) located next to the NUC computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e This Mount does NOT include a NUC mini-computer! The user must provide and install a NUC mini-computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iOptron CEM40EC-NUC Center Balanced Mount delivers a Periodic Error of less than ±0.3 arcsecond. This gives you the precision tracking you need for the best possible astro-imaging results, along with a great payload capacity and easy operation. The superb mechanical construction and choice of premium drive components for this mount provides the tracking and slewing performance you expect from iOptron. Retaining the inherent properties of the center balance design, this relatively compact medium payload mount delivers what astronomers expect in an efficient accurate portable mount. With precise GOTO pointing and accurate tracking (PE \u0026lt; ±0.3 arcsec RMS) the CEM40EC-NUC is a solid tracking mount for both observers and imagers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge levers are included on the quick-lock drive engagement system. These levers make it easy to snap its drive gears into place even when wearing gloves. There is little chance of your cables getting snagged with the CEM40EC-NUC 's internal advanced cable management system. This iOptron CEM40EC-NUC Center Balanced Mount Head is the ideal, easy-to-use Center Balanced GoTo mount system for heavier telescopes or imaging systems, in the up-to 40 lb range, which will satisfy all your observing and astro-imaging needs for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new, patent-pending Universal Self-Centering Saddle (USCS) accommodates both the Losmandy and Vixen style dovetail plates. CEM40EC-NUC mounts utilize reliable stepper motor drive systems for accurate pointing and tracking. These motors have a low power-consumption technology. A 212,000+ object library with star identification, GPS, a few of the desirable features standard on a CEM40EC-NUC mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product is the mount head plus one each 11 pound Counterweight.

Using ideas and engineering applied to a time tested design, the iOptron GEM45-NUC brings you the next generation German equatorial mount. A sharp looking CNC body is the first indicator the GEM45-NUC is a top quality mount; you will find this is true in both form and its function. Utilizing clever engineering, they were able to remove unnecessary bulk giving the iOptron GEM45-NUC Equatorial Mount Head an incredible 2.8 X payload-to-mount weight ratio. This compact mount can precisely GOTO an object and track it with up to 45 lb of gear on-board, but while the Head weighs only 15.8 lb. An amazing feat. This model, the GEM45-NUC is ready to use with a suitable NUC mini computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concept of the \"NUC\" (stands for \"Next Unit of Computing\") was designed and introduced by Intel Corporation; first launched in early 2013. The NUC has since developed over ten generations. The NUC motherboard usually measures approximately 4\" × 4\" (10.16 cm × 10.16 cm), which tends to promote a small sized package. NUC is a line of small-form-factor barebone computer kits or custom-configured computer modules which can be structured in various ways, to satisfy a customer's specific needs. Various versions of a NUC computer are now available for purchase via the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe true barebone kits consist of the board, in a plastic case with a fan, an external power supply, and a VESA mounting plate. Intel will sell just the NUC motherboards, which have a built-in CPU. The user can configure the rest per their need. This does require some detailed knowledge. Third-party cases for the NUC boards are also available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iOptron NUC mounts feature a bracket located at the lower front position of the saddle which will securely hold the NUC mini-computer in place. They have provisions for the mount control connections (LAN and USB) and power (19 Volts or optional 12 Volts DC) located next to the NUC computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e This Mount does NOT include a NUC mini-computer! The user must provide and install a NUC mini-computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iOptron GEM45-NUC Equatorial Mount delivers a Periodic Error of less than 7 arcsecond. This will give you the precision tracking you need for the best possible astro-imaging results, along with a great payload capacity and easy operation. Large levers are included on the quick-lock drive engagement system. These levers make it easy to snap its drive gears into place even when wearing gloves. There is little chance of your cables getting snagged with the GEM45-NUC's internal advanced cable management system. This iOptron GEM45-NUC Equatorial Mount Head is the ideal, easy-to-use equatorial GoTo mount system which will satisfy all your observing and astro-imaging needs for years to come\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new, patent-pending Universal Self-Centering Saddle (USCS) accommodates both the Losmandy and Vixen style dovetail plates. GEM45-NUC mounts utilize reliable stepper motor drive systems for accurate pointing and tracking. These motors have a low power-consumption technology. A 212,000+ object library with star identification, GPS, Wi-Fi (requires optional iStarFi adapter) are a few of the desirable features standard on a GEM45-NUC mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new LiteRoc 1.75\" tripod will give your telescope system a super rock-solid stability in a lighter, more compact package. Ideal for critical observing and astro-imaging.
