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.
