iOptron CEM26

 CEM 25-P was discontinued in late 2020, and is replaced by CEM 26.

basically the major mechanical parts are the same. 

on CEM 26, the worm wheel, shaft and bearing are the same as in CEM-25P.

The period error is still < +/- 10 arc sec

the payload is basically the same 12 kg ( 12.3 kg on CEM-25P)

The major difference is the built-in Wi-Fi for connecting to apps. （Star Fi is a USD 50 )

Well the built-in GPS is now removed

The maximum slew speed is now faster, at 6 degrees per second ( vs 4 on CEM25p)

Another difference is the DEC and RA bearing clutch, which was done by using 2 knobs in CEM25p, now you unlock the bearing by a single switch ( same as in CEM 40 and CEM70)



 The hand controller is updated to 8049 ( which has a serial port at bottom for firmware upgrade, and computer control, same as in CEM25p)

iPolar scope is still an option.

There is now a place holder on the side of dovetail saddle, which is for  the mini guiding scope  iGuider 1 which is good for up to 600 ~ 800 mm focal length.

iGuide is standard feature in CEM70G

backlash issue.

suggested max load capacity:

1. Visual payload capacity 12kg
2. Recommended imaging payload capacity 9kg
3. Recommended scope size 6 inch (though that would change with the length also - people have used 8 inch for visual).

review.

iOptron CEM26 page

the official basic feature price is now USD 998  ( vs USD 948 in CEM25p)

CMOS sensor trends and astrophotography, from amateur astronomers perspective

Nowadays, even in low light conditions, digital camera can quality pictures with higher ISO, noise and hot pixels have been gradually reduced. Sony has introduced back illumination process for consumer market. Sony BSI sensors evolved  from Exmor to now Exmor RS( stacked) technology. This stacked technology allows further chip size reduction, which has strong demands in smartphone camera market. Digital astrophotography is also benefited from such advances, utilising Back Side Illumination technology Exmor: Within the CMOS sensor, it outputs low-noise digital signals by "on-chip column AD conversion" and "dual noise reduction" to suppress noise in the first half of the process In low light conditions, when a wide aperture is desirable to collect as much light as possible. At apertures wider than f/2.0, back-illuminated Exmor R sensors are significantly more efficient at collecting light than conventional, front-illuminated sensor...

ultrafast rendezvous to ISS

    14 Oct 2020,  being the first to use a new “ultrafast” rendezvous” scheme with the ISS. Following a flawless ascent to the correct orbit, Soyuz 2 .1a , Soyuz MS-17 caught up with the orbiting laboratory in only two orbits (three hours), halving the time it takes for crew to get to the Station.   The three space travelers of the Soyuz MS-17 mission launched on a six-month mission the International Space Station.  previous 3/4 orbit rendezvous: Soyuz MS-16 4 orbit rendezvous A three-orbit profile was deemed possible without major flight design changes after inauguration of the Soyuz 2-1A rocket that provides a much higher orbit injection accuracy than its predecessors and would allow the two correction maneuvers on Orbit #2 to be eliminated while the Automated Rendezvous Phase would still remain untouched. The deletion of the Orbit #2 maneuvers was expected to slightly tighten the already restrictive phase angle window from and upper limit of 30-35° to 25-28°...
