In addition to a precision synchronous belt transmission that improves tracking accuracy while reducing vibration, the iOptron CEM40EC-NUC GoTo EQ Mount gets an upgrade from the standard CEM40 mount that brings periodic tracking errors down to less than 0.25 arcsec by using high-resolution encoders and their Real-Time Periodic Error Correction (RPEC) system. The encoders and RPEC continuously monitor tracking accuracy and make any necessary corrections as soon as errors are detected. This is an invaluable upgrade for astrophotographers who practice long-exposure techniques to keep their star fields tack sharp without streaking or blurring. The mount also has a redesigned control panel and cable management system that will accept an optional Intel NUC minicomputer that will eliminate cables that would normally run to your laptop and help to avoid connection errors to control interfaces.
