iOptron GEM45-NUC German Equatorial Mount NUC Ready

iOptron’s NUC Computer Ready Mounts

The NUC (Next Unit of Computing) series of mounts from iOptron pair perfectly with Intel NUC mini computers. NUC mounts feature a well-positioned bracket at the lower front area of the saddle, securely holding the mini computer in place. There are also some provisions for mount control connections (LAN and USB) and power 19V (optional 12V) conveniently placed next to the NUC computer.

This sharp looking CNC bodytells you the GEM45 is a top-quality mount in both form and function. While utilizing their experiences gained during the development of this CEM series, iOptron designers were able to remove unnecessary bulk giving the GEM45 an incredible 2.8 payload to mount weight ratio. This compact 18-pound mount can precisely GOTO an object and track with up to 45-pounds of gear onboard. With its integrated electronic polar scope (iPolar), polar alignment is a snap, even when the pole star is obscured. Large levers on the quick-lock drive engagement system make it easy to snap its drive gears into place even when wearing gloves. There is little chance of your cables getting snagged with the GEM45’s internal advanced cable management system. A new, patent-pending Universal Self-Centering Saddle (USCS) accommodates Losmandy and Vixen-style dovetail plates. The GEM45 mounts utilize reliable stepper motor drive systems with iOptron’s low power consumption technology.

A 212,000+ object library with star identification, GPS, Wi-Fi (requires optional iStarFi adapter) are a few of the desirable features standard on a GEM45 mount.
