It offers the benefits of our revolutionary \u201ccenter balance\u201d design: stability, accuracy, and smooth mechanical operation, while capable of carrying a payload up to 115 lbs (52 kg). The \u201ccenter balance\u201d design\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>The 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recognizing the growing demand for an accurate and stable, <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"equatorial\" href=\"https:\/\/astronomicalsolutions.com\/product-category\/mounts\/equatorial-mounts\/\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">equatorial<\/a> mount with the versatility to carry larger instruments and more complex imaging arrays, we created the iOptron CEM120EC.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ms-editor-squiggler\" style=\"color: initial;
