CEM60 first impressions
I've recently bought the CEM60 direct from iOptron.
Very positive first impressions so far - decent build quality overall. They've released the ascom drive and getting it to work with Astrotortilla was painless. I'm still getting used to a few quirks like the magnetic switches. If I had to change a couple of things it would be knobs that are more comfortable to grip, making the USB hub on the mount a powered one and setting circles.
Regrettably the weather has been abysmal so I haven't had time to do much testing, although I do note the mount didn't come with the firmware currently on the iOptron site so I'll need to upgrade that.
But as an shift from the CGEM DX it feels a great deal lighter.
