iOptron CEM60 has arrived
After about a month of waiting, due to my ordering just before Chinese New year and Easter, my CEM60 arrived last Friday, via Adelaide dealer. As there is a bit of a dearth of info on IIS re these mounts, I thought I'd try and add some. Pics below and will try to provide ongoing details as I get it up and running over the next few months.
My initial impression is quite positive. It came in a sturdy metal carrying case, all up less than 20Kg to carry (plus two separately-boxed counterweights, @ 9.5 and 4.5 Kgs. No tripod, which suited me, although apparently there is a suitable one available on their website, as has been mentioned elsewhere on IIS.
Includes AC power supply plus DC cable, GoTo Hand Controller with PC input and ASCOM, etc, etc. As shown in the user guide, it comes with GPS and a USB 2.0 hub built into the mount, with cabling access holes.
Next step is to finish my ROR observatory and install the mount on my trusty pier. But that's a story for another time.
