IOptron Mount GEM45EC-NUC LiteRoc

Do you require more versatility in your equatorial mount without a tangle of cables?

Are you fed up of connection errors when connecting to other provider’s interfaces?

Then the iOptron NUC mount is the one for you!

The GEM45 can now be seamlessly connected to the mount’s cable system using an Intel® NUC mini-computer (thickness ≤38mm) on the front of the prism clamp.

The iOptron® GEM45 mount is the next generation of equatorial mounts but with a classic design.

This mount is exceptionally well-made and functional.

Innovative iOptron technology

Make space for an innovative mount!

The GEM45 has an integrated electronic polarscope, known as iPolar.

This tool guarantees precision alignment for your telescope, even when Polaris is not visible.

The GEM45 NUC has a dual prism clamp which takes Losmandy-style and Vixen-style rails.

Furthermore, the mount has iOptron’s low-energy-consumption, ultra-quiet stepper motor drive system, already found in other iOptron mounts.

Computer-assisted functions

The iOptron GEM45 mount uses Go2Nova® 8407 hand controller to navigate the night sky. This unbelievable technology works with the mount’s object database of 212,000 entries to assist observers in finding celestial objects!

And the mount has even more benefits…

• The integrated electronic polarscope, iPolar, makes perfectly orientating the mount northwards child’s play, even when the Pole Star is not visible! Please note: A laptop or PC is required to use the iPolar.
• Large dials allow the motor to be detached from the gears so that the axes can move freely, even when wearing gloves.
• Its internal cable management prevents tangled cables or cables being pulled out.
• The mount’s newly designed Universal Self-Centering Saddle takes Losmandy-style and Vixen-style prism rails and allows the telescope to be precisely aligned.
• The CNC machined casing not only looks chic, it is also very durable.

The GoTo computer controls also include modern Go2Nova 8407+ hand controller with integrated heating to keep the large display free from dew. The object database contains over 212,000 objects! Furthermore, the controls feature their own 32-channel GPS, saving you from constantly having to enter the date, location and time. Of course, the mount also has a ST-4 port for autoguiders.

Its very quiet operation using stepper-motors is ideal for observing from your balcony and uses relatively little electricity.

The GEM45 is a very versatile and advanced mount!
