The bright, heated display remains readable even on cold nights. Thanks to the\u00a0<strong>32-channel GPS<\/strong>\u00a0you never have to manually enter time, date or location again - it all happens automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system also includes a&nbsp;<strong>ST-4 connection<\/strong>&nbsp;for autoguiders, so you're ready for astrophotography right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smart cable management and universal compatibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<strong>internal cable system<\/strong>&nbsp;Prevents entanglement and cable breakage - a great advantage in extended sessions.<br>The new&nbsp;<strong>Universal Self-Centering Saddle<\/strong>&nbsp;supports both&nbsp;<strong>Losmandy- like Vixen swallowtails<\/strong>, so you can mount almost any telescope without any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<strong>CNC-machined aluminum housing<\/strong>&nbsp;not only looks beautiful, but also provides years of reliable stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Perfect tracking, with or without encoders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CEM40 is available in two versions.
