Hypertuned iOptron CEM70 up for grab

Post by minhlead »

As titled, I am letting the CEM70 go to upgrade to the CEM120. The mount is bought Feb 2022 and has been staying at the remote observatory ever since, serving as the platform for both my 152mm solar scope and 107mm DSO scope. The mount handles the dual mount (25 kg total) with ease. The mount has been stripped down and regreased and hypertuned by myself ( I am an experienced iOptron user which hypertuned several ioptron mounts) The tracking performance is spot on, under 0.6 arcsecs Total RMS for the whole imaging session, some part it's as good as 0.3 arcsecs, depending on the wind condition and seeing of the session. (see attached images the black tripier is not up for sale).
The mount is mounted at an semi-open observatory and used for solar observing so the paint may have some degradation (I think the paint is a bit lighter than when it's first bought which I am not sure due to the degradation of the paint or simply due to the dust) Anyway, it's all cosmetics which does not affect normal use.
The mount comes with a aluminium carrying case and the mount head. The international shipping included in the offer only cover those items, I have the original 9,5kg counterweight,12kg extra counterweight and the original 1.75 inch tripod. All free, as long as you pay for the shipping fee (which is 8$/Kg). It's up to you if you want those.
Asking for 2.200$ included shipping to con. US (I use a LTL shipping service and they guaranteed that you won't have to pay any extra taxes on the mount, have shipped several item to US including a QHY294M plus Filters and FW without any trouble. REMEMBER: the shipping is WITHOUT the tripod and the counterweights, if you need those, you have to pay for the extra shipping fee).
Payment via Paypal please add 3% extra fee. Thanks!
