  • Saddle Powerbox Puck for iOptron CEM26 and iOptron GEM28

    The Pegasus Astro Saddle Powerbox Puck provides a dedicated, clean, and rigid mounting solution for attaching a Saddle Powerbox directly to the dovetail saddle of an iOptron CEM26 or iOptron GEM28 equatorial mount. This adapter is engineered to create a seamless integration, centralizing power and data distribution right at the telescope's connection point. By doing so, it eliminates the cable drag and snagging risks that are a common source of tracking errors in astrophotography setups.

    A Custom Fit for iOptron CEM26 & GEM28 Mounts

    This puck is not a universal adapter; it is purpose-built to match the specific mounting pattern of the iOptron CEM26 and GEM28 saddles. This ensures a secure, wobble-free connection between the mount and your Pegasus Astro Saddle Powerbox. The primary benefit is a significant improvement in cable management, allowing you to run shorter power and data cables from the Powerbox to your camera, focuser, and other accessories. This greatly reduces the chance of cables catching on the mount during slews, which is critical for long-exposure imaging.

  • What is the main advantage of using the Saddle Powerbox Puck on my iOptron CEM26?

    The main advantage is superior cable management. By mounting the Saddle Powerbox directly to the mount's saddle, you minimize the length of cables going to your imaging equipment. This drastically reduces the risk of cable snags and pulls, which can ruin an exposure by causing tracking errors.

    Is the Saddle Powerbox Puck compatible with the iOptron CEM40 or other mounts?

    No, this puck is specifically designed for the dovetail saddles of the iOptron CEM26 and iOptron GEM28 mounts. It will not fit other models from iOptron or other manufacturers.

    Does this puck work with other Pegasus Astro power boxes?

    No. This puck is designed exclusively for the Pegasus Astro Saddle Powerbox. It will not work with the Pocket Powerbox, Ultimate Powerbox, or other power distribution units without modification.

    How will the Saddle Powerbox Puck improve my astrophotography with a GEM28 mount?

    For an astrophotographer using a GEM28, reliable tracking is everything. A cable catching on the mount base or tripod is a common cause of trailed stars. By organizing your cables at the saddle with this puck, you create a cleaner setup where the cables move with the telescope, not against it, leading to more consistent and error-free guiding.

    Does the puck include the screws needed for installation?

    Installation hardware is typically included with the Saddle Powerbox itself. This product is the adapter puck only, designed to interface between the Powerbox and the specific iOptron mount saddle.

    Do I need any special tools to install the Saddle Powerbox Puck?

    No special tools are required. Installation can typically be done with a set of standard metric hex keys (Allen wrenches) that are common for astronomy hardware adjustments.
