so what’s this?

£700 new from Altair Astro. 

Then don't buy it.

CEM25p is discontinued, and is in a sweet spot for a portable mount suited to 11kg imaging payload. IOptron have not advertised a like replacement for it.

I can understand someone paying more than retail for it once new stock runs out.

But, as already said, if the price isn't right then just move along.

Not a great price but not scalping for the CEM25p

Plus the tripod with 2” legs, mini pier, extra counterweight hard case etc so about £1,100,00 new. £699.00 is the head and counterweight only.

I was wrong to call this out and didn’t do my research well enough. Apologies all round and especially to the seller. Thanks for straightening me out John. 🤐
