iOptron CEM70EC-NUC Mount Head with iPolar Scope

The iOptron CEM70EC-NUC Mount Head is a NUC-ready mount that provides the versatility of an equatorial mount. It's ready to mate with an Intel NUC minicomputer (≤38mm thickness) at the front of the dovetail saddle seamlessly thanks to the advanced cable management system. With precise GOTO pointing and accurate tracking, the CEM70EC2-NUC is suitable for observers and imagers alike. It offers advanced operational features such as the internal iPolar electronic polar scope, easy lock drive gear engagement (with levers large enough to use with gloves), cable management for the mount, and much more.

Note:

The included AC adapter is for indoor use only.
