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.
