EM-11 Temma-2M Mount complete

TAKAHASHI EM 11 Temma-2M is a compact and highy accurate computerised

German Equatorial Mount that\'s lightweight at 7.3kg and ideal for travellers.

Takahashi Japan specification states it can handle a payload of 8.5kgs but

from our experience, this mount functions flawlessly even when loaded above

this limit. This mount makes an excellent first or second travelling mount to

amateurs who are looking to start off as well as astronomers who may have

heavier mounts which used on more specific or permanent location basis. Its

weight to payload ratio is truly excellent and its built quality, performance and

accuracy is well known among amateurs worldwide and synonymous with the

TAKAHASHI name.
