Utilizing precise, no-backlash, high-torque strain wave gearing, the Sky-Watcher Wave 100i GoTo Strain Wave Mount is a compact but highly capable motorized GoTo mount for your optical tube assembly. The mount weighs just 9.5 pounds but can support a 22-pound payload with no counterweight and 33 pounds with optional counterweights. It is controlled by Sky-Watcher's popular SynScan GoTo hand controller or app on a paired device and is compatible with other controllers such as ASIAir, Eagle, and StellarMate.
The mount holds optical tubes of all sizes on two D/V saddles and operates in alt-azimuth or equatorial tracking modes with RA and Dec home positions and a 0-90° latitude range. A red backlit latitude display and bubble level make setup easier, and an RA brake prevents backsliding if the power goes out.
Dual D/V Saddles
The Wave 100i comes standard with a secondary saddle that mounts over the counterweight port allowing users to mount up to 22 pounds of equipment on each saddle in Alt-Az mode.
Fast Slewing
Track satellites and space stations with the Wave's swift slew rate of 10° per second and the downloadable Satellite Tracker Application for Windows PC found on Sky-Watcher's International Support website.
Strain Wave Drive Technology
Whether you're mounting a small wide field refractor, a stocky Maksutov-Cassegrain, a massive astrograph, or a long, glass-heavy triplet, the Wave's adaptive payload capacity and add-ons and accessories ensures compatibility with a wide range of optical tubes and tripods.
GoTo Connectivity
The Wave mount easily integrates with Sky-Watcher's SynScan hand controller or SynScan app, allowing users to control their telescopes by hand or wirelessly via smartphone or tablet, as well as through third-party control platforms (ASIAir, Eagle, StellarMate, etc.) enabling access to advanced features like plate solving and automated imaging runs.
