But, it can support up to a 28 lb payload an incredible 2.8 mount weight-to-payload ratio. The key to providing such an impressive ratio is the engineering methods used to reduce the mount weight. The German Equatorial design mount was created and offered for those astronomers who want the traditional German mount. Other features include a design of mount which can function at latitudes over 60°, as well as accurate pointing and tracking.\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. The GEM28, Model G28A German Equatorial Mount from iOptron delivers precise pointing and accurate tracking. The GEM28, Model G28A sets a new standard for compact GoTo equatorial mounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iOptron GEM28, Model G28A Equatorial Mount is equipped with the latest advanced GOTONova GO-TO technology, which means it is now one of the most powerful and accurate GO-TO mounts available. Its database includes over 212,000+ objects! The Go2Nova Hand Controller is intuitive and very easy to use. Its large 4-line LCD screen simplifies the process of setting telescope parameters and locating objects, to make the astronomer's task even easier. This GEM28, Model G28A German Equatorial mount from iOptron will be a delight to use for all of your astronomical observations, and for doing astro-imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis GEM28, Model G28A mount has an iPolar electronic Polar Scope installed for quick and easy polar alignment.
