For eight years, Celestron’s workhorse CGEM mount lineup has been the German Equatorial backbone for telescopes ranging from 6 to 11 inches of aperture. Since that time, many more astro-imagers and planetarium controlled setups have emerged as backyard telescope technology has evolved. Celestron’s engineering team applied their years of experience designing German Equatorial mounts to the Celestron CGX EQ, a culmination of all the advancements made to our technologies, value, and ease-of-use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Celestron CGX was designed to better support your telescope for both visual and astro-imaging pursuits. Key design goals included a lower profile EQ head, which provides a more compact and therefore more stable setup; a better drive system; remote operation-friendly with home and limit optical sensors; easier polar alignment adjustments; and better cable management. In addition to that, we’ve made mechanical and ergonomic improvements throughout to make the mount sturdier, easier to use, and transport. The CGX is Celestron's Equatorial backbone to support a wide range of telescopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLimited Giveaway Offer:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the 20th of March 2023 until the 16th of April 2023, purchase this Celestron mount and receive a FREE Celestron StarSense Auto Align system with a suggested retail price of $1099\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"alignnone wp-image-131088 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/6673\/1845\/files\/94005-e1679360474496.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"246\" height=\"231\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.celestron.com.au\/pages\/celestron-2023-mount-giveaway\"\u003eClick here\u003c\/a\u003e for to claim your Celestron StarSense Auto Align system\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMount Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design has been developed to be sturdier and more rigid with quicker dampening time\u003cbr\u003eIncreased load capacity to 25kg (55lb)\u003cbr\u003eImproved motors provide more torque, better slewing and tracking under heavy loads\u003cbr\u003eHeavy Duty belt-drive system minimizes backlash while providing smooth motor operation under heavy loads\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpring-loaded brass worm wheel and stainless steel worm gear reduce friction and provide optimum gear mesh\u003cbr\u003eInternal cabling for worry-free remote operation.

instruments and more complex imaging arrays, we created the iOptron CEM120EC2. It offers the benefits of our revolutionary “center balance” design: stability, accuracy, and smooth mechanical operation, while capable of carrying a payload up to 52 kg. The “center balance” design’s natural stability is due to its focusing the mount along with payloads weight directly over the center of the pier or tripod. Along with the stability aspect, the CEM120 features an advanced cable management system consisting of more ports in more locations preventing tangle ups and reducing the chance of fractured cables. They also add some new features to the CEM family like Wi-Fi and LAN for remote operation and easy to use, reliable clutches on both axes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CEM120EC2 utilizes two high resolution encoders, one on each axis. The two encoders enable the mount to perform dual axes tracking. With advanced sky modeling the CEM120EC2 will be able to account and adjust for polar alignment error as well as changes in atmospheric (refractive) distortion. Fixed home sensors on each axis, allow the mount to save alignment models after power off too to be used on future nights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptional Extra's\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptional heavy duty \u003cb\u003eTri-Pier 360\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ePermanent Pier\u003c\/b\u003e are available for order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\/product\/ioptron-tri-pier-360\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptional Tri-Pier adapter for light weight payload ( \u003ca href=\"\/product\/ioptron-pier-top-adapter-cem120-version\/?v=322b26af01d5\"\u003e8036-120\u003c\/a\u003e) is also available for $239.

growing demand for an accurate and stable, equatorial mount with the versatility to carry larger instruments and more complex imaging arrays, we created the iOptron CEM120. It offers the benefits of our revolutionary “center balance” design: stability, accuracy, and smooth mechanical operation, while capable of carrying a payload up to 52 kg. The “center balance” design’s natural stability is due to its focusing the mount along with payloads weight directly over the center of the pier or tripod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CEM120's performance is demonstrated by its low periodic tracking error of ±3.5 arc seconds. Along with the stability aspect, the CEM120 features an advanced cable management system consisting of more ports in more locations preventing tangle ups and reducing the chance of fractured cables. It also adds some new features to the CEM family like Wi-Fi and LAN for remote operation and easy to use, reliable clutches on both axes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptional Extra's\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptional heavy duty \u003cb\u003eTri-Pier 360\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ePermanent Pier\u003c\/b\u003e are available for order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\/product\/ioptron-tri-pier-360\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptional Tri-Pier adapter for light weight payload ( \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ioptron.com\/product-p\/8036.htm\"\u003e8036-120\u003c\/a\u003e) is also available for $239.

iOptron’s revolutionary hybrid harmonic drive mounts. These light weight, high payload tiny titans will deliver an astronomy experience like never before. Imagine a mount head weighing in at 3.7KG (8.15lbs) with a payload capability 13KG (29.74lbs), without needing a cumbersome counterweight or shaft. Applying iOptron’s multi decade experience creating precision mounts, the \u003cb\u003eHEM27\u003c\/b\u003e brings this vision to reality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUtilizing state of the art harmonic drive technology for the RA movement in tandem with backlash-free DEC worm\/belt drive design, the HEM27s deliver unparalleled weight to payload efficiency. Its black anodized all metal CNC machined body is not only appealing to the eye, it’s a rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years to come. Unique features such as an electronic friction break and power down memory allow the mount safely stop and resume a GoTo slew or continue tracking even after an abrupt power loss (No need to realign

These light weight, high payload tiny titans will deliver an astronomy experience like never before. Imagine a mount head weighing in at 3.7KG (8.15lbs) with a payload capability 13Kilos (29.74lbs), without needing a cumbersome counterweight or shaft. Applying iOptron’s multi decade experience creating precision mounts, the \u003cb\u003eHEM27\u003c\/b\u003e brings this vision to reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUtilizing state of the art harmonic drive technology for the RA movement in tandem with backlash-free DEC worm\/belt drive design, the HEM27s deliver unparalleled weight to payload efficiency. Its black anodized all metal CNC machined body is not only appealing to the eye, it’s a rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years to come. Unique features such as an electronic friction break and power down memory allow the mount safely stop and resume a GoTo slew or continue tracking even after an abrupt power loss (No need to realign and start from the beginning).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003eHEM27EC\u003c\/b\u003e features a high precision RA axis encoder that delivers incredible tracking accuracy, enough that

The Paramount without on-axis absolute encoders requires a nightly \u003cem\u003eFind Home\u003c\/em\u003e process that usually takes a minute or less to complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, at least with Paramounts, periodic error is effectively in the noise, and homing straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat about pointing and tracking?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithout on-axis absolute encoders, Paramounts routinely produce 5-to-10-minute unguided exposures; many have reported 20 minutes. Also without on-axis absolute encoders, Paramount’s produce all-sky pointing accuracies at or below 30 arcseconds RMS (usually less than 15 arcseconds on fixed mirror telescopes).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParamount’s exceptional software makes the above performance possible. TheSky Professional edition, in conjunction with TPoint™ and ProTrack™ the mount’s position is continually updated in both axes to correct system-wide pointing and tracking errors caused by tube flexure, atmospheric refraction, polar misalignment, harmonic errors from mis-centered encoders and\/or worm gears, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn-axis absolute encoders alone cannot correct these errors which exist with all telescopes. A properly applied telescope model is necessary to achieve superior pointing and tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo are on-axis absolute encoders right for you?  Perhaps if you want to enjoy the conveniences mentioned above. And for many, that’s enough.  With that said, the optional on-axis 26-bit Renishaw absolute encoders with 0.02 arc second precision are the finest available and they operate in temperatures between +80°C and –40°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e56 kg instrument capacity; 113 kg maximum payload capacity (instruments + counterweights)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll sky pointing accuracies at or below 30 arcseconds RMS (see Software Specifications below for details)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnibody mount design weighs 24 kg without counterweights or counterweight shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum seven (7) arcseconds peak-to-peak periodic error before correction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter a one-time training, periodic error is 1 arcsecond, peak-to-peak or less\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional 26-bit Renishaw encoders eliminate periodic error and the need for homing; operates in temps as low as –40° C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you skip encoders now and later decide you want them, they can be retrofitted on the Paramount MX Series 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs there’s some confusion about what encoders can and cannot do, there’s an FAQ below that elaborates on that and whether they’re right for you\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIts encoder cables are located inside the mount to help prevent snags.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll electronics and through-the-mount cables are housed inside the mount with ample room for additional cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIts state-of-the-art MKS 6000 telescope control system (TCS) lets you connect via USB C, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-port USB 2.0 hub located on the instrument panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRedesigned Versa-Plate™ (included) accepts most telescopes and makes mounting them a breeze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e48V DC power supply and PC-to-mount USB and Ethernet cables included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 9 kg counterweights are included which can balance 18-22 kg.
