iOptron CEM26 Overview:
iOptron CEM26 quiet slewing at MAX speed of 6º/sec:
Introducing iOptron’s new compact next-generation center-balance equatorial mounts the CEM26!
Like their predecessors, the CEM26 is designed with portability in mind, weighing in at only 10 lbs it can support up to a 26lb payload an incredible 2.6 mount weight to payload ratio. The key to enable such ratios is the CEM design focuses the mount and payload weight directly on the center of the tripod rendering “natural stability”.
Building on the legacy of earlier CEM models we have added features for convenience and functionality. A positive lock gear engagement system (easy to use even when wearing gloves), Built-in Wi-Fi enabling unparallel connectivity and recordable permanent periodic error correction (PPEC) to repeat optimal PEC training sessions. Regarding functionality the CEM26 delivers precise pointing and accurate tracking. The CEM26 sets the new standard for compact equatorial mounts.
The center-balanced design mount puts the weight of the payload at the center of gravity allowing for greater natural stability. Other features include an adjustable counterweight bar to prevent obstruction with the tripod. And polar aligning is quick and accessible all the time since the polar scope is not blocked by the declination shaft.
The CEM26 is equipped with the latest advanced GOTONOVA® GOTO technology, making it one of the most powerful and accurate GOTO mounts available. Its database includes over 212,000+ objects. The Go2Nova® Hand Controller is intuitive to use and its large 4-line LCD screen simplifies the process of setting telescopes and locating objects.

Shows polar alignment without seeing Polaris using iOptron iPolar:
Available CEM26 models:
The CEM26A mount has an integrated electronic polar finder scope known as the iPolar. This tool ensures the accurate alignment of a telescope, even when the pole star is obscured.
The CEM26B mount has an AccuAlignTM optical polar scope installed for quick and easy polar alignment. It comes with a 1.5" heavy duty stainless steel tripod.
Each CEM26 comes with either a 1.5" or a LiteRoc 1.75" heavy duty stainless steel tripod, with or without an aluminum carrying case (depending on option). Please see product title to determine which model is offered.

Introducing iOptron iPolarTM - a high precision, easy to use electronics polarscope (e-PS).
What makes iPolar unique?
1. Can be easily installed inside the RA shaft on all iOptron equatorial mounts (except SmartEQ Pro). 2. Can be used on any mounts with adapters either internally or externally. 3. USB plug and play (no driver needed) 4. Works globally, no need to set northern and southern hemisphere. 5. No visible Polaris (north) or Sigma Octantis (south) necessary. 6. No need to rotate the mount during polar align.
This is a fantastic product for EAA. With the variable weather here in Thailand, I am still able to get out under the stars for even a few minutes and get some great pictures, particularly of nebula and galaxies. I highly recommend the Seestar S50 for beginners and advanced astronomers (or wannabees).
