    * The EM-200 USD III accommodates the Mewlon 250, CN-212, or TOA -130 beautifully.

    * Comes with two-5 kg (11.02 lb.) counterweights, hand controller, and power cable.

    * Integrated polar alignment scope with illumination.

    * High precision RA and Dec stepper motors provide cyclic errors lower than +/- 5 arc
seconds.

    * Tripod is sold separately.

    * Weight capacity is 40 lbs. 


The EM-200 USD III is an accurate, precision-built German equatorial mount that provides a stable
platform for payloads of up to 40 pounds. It is an ideal mount for any type telescope, be it a
refractor, reflector, or cassegrain.

The modern aesthetic design of the EM-200 is highly attractive as well as beautifully functional.
The RA and DEC stepper motors are fully integrated into the mounting,and the high precision design
and construction provides cyclic errors lower than +/- 5 arc seconds.

The integrated polar alignment telescope has an illuminated reticule which can be dimmed to suit
the user or observing conditions. In conjunction with the precision altitude and azimuth
adjusters, this will typically give polar alignment accuracy within 2 minutes of arc of the
celestial pole.

Improvements (EM-200 vs EM-200 USD III) include the ability for operation on 12v (manual
operation via hand controller or remote operation with Temma upgrade and a PC) or 24v (remote
operation via a PC with the addition of the Temma upgrade). These new mounts feature high speed
slewing at 300x [sidereal rate] at 12v and 700x at 24v. A hand controller and power cable for
12V/220V battery connection is included.
