Product description

Need more versatility of an equatorial mount without cable tangling? Tired of connection error with some third party control interface?

iOptron NUC-ready mounts are here!

A CEM40-NUC is ready to mate with Intel® NUC minicomputer (thickness≤38mm) at the front of dovetail saddle seamlessly with the cable management system.

The iOptron® CEM40 mount is the next generation of center-balanced equatorial mounts.

This mount is incredibly eye-pleasing, and its beauty is found in more than its appearance. The functionality of the mount is superb.

Innovative iOptron Technology

Make way for an innovative mount! This mount has an integrated electronic polar finder scope known as the iPolar.

This tool ensures the accurate alignment of a telescope, even when the polar star is obscured.

There are large levers on the quick-lock drive engagement system; these large levers make it easy to snap the gears into place.

This iOptron CEM40 mount has a dual saddle that accommodates Losmandy and Vixen-style dovetail plates.

It also uses iOptron's ultra-quiet, low-power consumption stepper motor drive system, aiding the mount in providing precise tracking.

Computerized Mount Features

The iOptron CEM40 mount uses the Go2Nova® 8407 hand controller to navigate the night sky.

This incredible technology helps observers find celestial objects with the aid of the mount's 212,000+ object database!

For those looking for a telescope that has the capability of tracking and finding beautiful night sky objects, this mount is a must have tool.

With the included tripod, 11lbs. counterweight, and the mount's computerized technology, observers are just an OTA away from a spectacular viewing experience!

The mount head weighs only 8.2 kg, yet can support a payload of up to 18 kg. This extremly good payload to weight ratio of 2.5 makes the CEM40 versatile. You can carry it to your favoriert place under a dark sky or at your backyard observatory with a relatively small pier.

But there are more advantages:

  • An integrated electronic polar finder scope (iPolar) ensures accurate alignment even at times when the pole star is obscured.
  • Large levers on its quick-lock drive engagement system make it easy to snap its gears into place even when wearing gloves.
  • There's little chance of your cables getting snagged with the CEM40's internal cable management system.
  • The mount comes with the new Universal Self-Centering Saddle for Losmandy and Vixen style dovetails.
  • The CNC body looks sharp but is really robust.


The GoTo-Technology features a Go2Nova 8407+ controller with integrated heater for its large display, a 212,000 object library, integrated 32-channel-GPS and ST-4 auto guiding port.

Another great feature besides the center-balance is the ultra-quiet low power consumption stepper motor drive systems. Both models of the CEM40 are precise trackers, the CEM40-EC version delivering <0.25 arcsecond accuracy with its high-resolution encoder and its real time periodic error correction (RPEC).

The CEM40 is a extremly versatile and advanced mount.
