Mounts range from causal visual use, deep-sky imaging or taking night vistas of the Milky Way. Many mounts now have some form of built-in technology. This helps to track and even find astro objects. Mount controls are moving away from hand controllers to Wifi or USB connection to your PC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBINTEL has mounts to suit beginners right through to professional observatory mounts.

Now your smaller telescope can take advantage of All-Star Polar Alignment and autoguider support. You’ll be able to track through long exposures using permanently programmable periodic error correction. Image across the meridian without doing a meridian flip, so you can seamlessly image the best part of night sky.

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.

With a mount head weight of 10 kg this professional mount is ideal to be carried anywhere in search of dark skies and solar eclipses. The integrated bubble level and the adjustable tripod legs make the levelling easy, the azimuth and altitude axis can be fine adjusted for a precise polar alignment. On top of that, the included polar scope included allows an extremely precise polar alignment that helps to drastically improve the quality of tracking, especially for astrophotography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exceptional SynScan Go-To system allows full control of both R.A. and Dec. axes with 9 slew speeds and 5 arcminute pointing precision, allowing you to quickly and accurately locate objects across the night sky. The Go-To system can automatically slew the telescope on command toward planets, stars, nebulae, galaxies, clusters and much more. The SynScan has 42,900 memorised celestial objects for an amazing journey in the night sky.

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.
