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 clever engineering 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 mount design 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 Real-time PEC (RPEC) for optimal pointing and tracking performance. This model, the G28ECA3 includes a special High-Resolution Optical Encoder for higher performance. It has real-time PEC (RPEC) which can deliver accurate tracking with a periodic error of less than 0.3 arcsecond RMS. The GEM28E, Model G28ECA3 German Equatorial Mount from iOptron delivers precise pointing and accurate tracking. The GEM28E, Model G28ECA3 sets a new standard for compact GoTo equatorial mounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iOptron GEM28E, Model G28ECA3 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 GEM28E, Model G28ECA3 German Equatorial mount from iOptron will be a delight to use for all of your astronomical observations, and also for astro-imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis GEM28E, Model G28ECA3 mount has an iPolar electronic Polar Scope installed for quick and easy polar alignment.
