Tired of connection error with some third party control interface? Check out the iOptron NUC-ready mounts ! A CEM70-NUC is ready to mate with Intel® NUC minicomputer (thickness≤38mm) at the front of dovetail saddle seamlessly with the cable management system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing up on the success of the iOptron CEM60 center balance equatorial mount, we at iOptron are excited to introduce two new medium payload center balance mounts. The CEM70 and CEM70G are new standard bearers for equatorial mounts in the 70lb payload segment. Both models are packed with advanced features however the CEM70G is the first of its type with an onboard optical guiding system increasing tracking accuracy while streamlining the components resulting in a more portable imaging setup.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRetaining the inherent properties of the center balance design, these relatively compact medium payload mounts deliver what astronomers expect in an efficient accurate portable mount. With precise GOTO pointing and accurate tracking (PE \u0026lt;±3.5 arcsec) the CEM70 is a solid performer for observers and imagers alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInnovative operational features such as the internal iPolar electronic polar scope, easy lock drive gear engagement (levers large enough to use with gloves), an advanced cable management system for the mount, iPolar, guider, and camera, and cumulatively assure users the CEM70 and 70G designed with their needs in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA new design, center-balanced equatorial mount (CEM) for maximum payload with natural stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for both visual observation and astrophotography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePayload of 70 lbs (31.8 kg) with the mount weight of 30 lbs (13.6 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to use and reliable gear clutches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision altitude and azimuth adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision stepper motor with 0.07 arcsec accuracy for precise GOTO and accurate tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eiPolarTM electronic polar scope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGo2Nova® 8407+ V2 controller with Advanced GOTONOVA® GOTO Technology with built in heater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh precision tracking with low periodic error (PE)\u0026lt;±3.5 arcsec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePermanent periodic error correction (PPEC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32-channel Global Positioning System (GPS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated ST-4 autoguiding port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced cable management system for mount and NUC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring loaded 8\" Vixen\/Losmandy dual saddle with NUC mounting adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW iOptron subsidized TheSky Imaging Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"font-size: 13px;
