Observing Tip
When balancing the CEM70, remember that the center-balanced design means the mount may feel “correct” slightly differently than a traditional German equatorial. Trust the center of massnot just visual symmetryespecially if you’re running multiple accessories. iPolar makes alignment painless, but proper mechanical balance gives you the best tracking the mount has to offer.
Why Choose the CEM70AW?
The CEM70 is a mount for serious astrophotographers and deep-sky visual observers who demand accuracy, load capacity, and flexibility in one platform. It’s at home under a permanent pier or under a dark sky at your favorite star party. And with the iPolar system, Go2Nova control, onboard GPS, and cable management, it’s fully modernno third-party upgrades needed.
If you’re ready to stop outgrowing your mount and start trusting it, the iOptron CEM70AW might be the only mount youll need for years to come.
