iOptron iEQ-45 GOTO Mount

With a payload of 20.45kg. balanced – it comes standard with a calibrated dark field illumination polar scope and a sturdy 2-inch stainless steel tripod. It also fits both Vixen and Losmandy-type mounting plates.  Its lighter weight (only 11.36kg.) makes it much easier to carry. The iEQ45 is definitely worth its weight in gold!
