This past year we introduced a new design concept -- the center-balancedequatorial mount (or CEM) called the ZEQ25. Now, we're proud to intro-duce the CEM60! -- with an increased payload of 60 lbs! The CEM60 putsthe weight of the payload at the center of gravity allowing for greater nat-ural stability. This makes the mount extremely light compared to its pay-load--a nice benefit when setting up at a remote site. Other features includean adjustable counterweight bar to prevent obstruction with the tripod orpier. And polar aligning is quick and accessible all the time since the polarscope is not blocked by the declination shaft.

The CEM60 is equipped with the most advanced GOTONOVA® GOTOtechnology, making it one of the most powerful and accurate GOTOmounts available. Its database includes over 300,000 objects. The

Go2Nova® hand controller is intuitive to use and its large 8-line LCDscreen simplifies the process of setting telescopes and locating ob-jects. The CEM60- a new category (and payload capacity) forviewing andastrophotography.
