The GEM28 is equipped with the latest advanced GOTONOVA GOTO technology, making it one of the most powerful and accurate GOTO mounts available. The GEM28 sets the new standard for compact German equatorial goto mounts. Regarding functionality the GEM28 delivers precise pointing and accurate tracking. A positive lock gear engagement system (easy to use even when wearing gloves), Built-in Wi-Fi enabling unparallel connectivity and recordable permanent periodic error correction (PPEC) to repeat optimal PEC training sessions. The German EQ versions were created to satisfy consumer that prefer a more traditional mount and to function at higher latitudes.īuilding on the legacy of earlier GEM models we have added features for convenience and functionality. We achieved this using design methods developed to reduce mount mass in our CEM family of mounts.

Like their predecessors, the GEM28 is designed with portability in mind, weighing in at only 10 lbs it can support up to a 28lb payload an incredible 2.8 mount weight to payload ratio. Introducing iOptron's new compact next-generation German equatorial mounts the GEM28!
