Mount CEM26 ECON

For observing, the tube weight should not exceed the mount’s maximum payload. For a stable photographic combination of tube and mount, it is wise to also pay attention to the tube length and dimension, where appropriate, to stay below the maximum load, as the leverage effect on the mount must be taken into account.

The counterweights are not taken into account when specifying the total weight, as the number of weights required depends on the optics used.

Optical telescopic tubes are usually connected to the telescope using an adapted dovetail bar. This makes it possible to quickly set up and take down the telescope.

An object can be selected using a hand-control box, the telescope will be automatically directed to it, and the object is positioned in the field of view.

As an alternative to the hand-control box, celestial objects can be controlled via a PC with appropriate software.

Located between the tripod legs for storing eyepieces, filters, etc.

CEM stands for centre-balanced equatorial mount.
