Built Around the CEM40
This is not a generic foam-lined case—it’s built specifically for the CEM40 mount head, with a precision-cut interior that keeps every part securely in place. Inside you’ll find cutouts for:
-
The CEM40 mount head
-
Go2Nova hand controller
-
Counterweight shaft
-
Power and USB cables
-
Accessory pouch or small parts
The foam provides a snug, non-abrasive fit that cushions your mount from vibration and jostling during travel.
Field-Ready Construction
The case features a tough, molded plastic shell with reinforced corners and dual locking latches. It’s rugged enough for field use, compact enough for car travel, and shaped to stow easily in gear closets or observatory drawers. A molded carrying handle makes it easy to lift and go.
-
Durable plastic exterior resists dings and dust
-
High-density foam holds mount head firmly in place
-
Latches provide secure, no-wobble closure

Ideal for Travel, Star Parties, and Storage
Whether you're heading to a remote observing site or just keeping your gear safe between sessions, the CEM40 hard case gives you peace of mind and grab-and-go convenience. It’s an essential piece of kit for imagers and visual observers who don’t want to risk their investment bouncing around in the backseat.
Observing Tip:
Store your polar scope illuminator and Allen wrenches in the case’s accessory area. Keeping your alignment tools with the mount ensures you won’t leave anything behind on travel nights.
