Sky-Watcher Wave 100i Hybrid Harmonic Mount

The Sky-Watcher Wave mounts combine high torque harmonic drive technology with a compact, lightweight design, delivering exceptional precision and power. These mounts stand out with unique features that make them an excellent choice for astronomers, photographers, and enthusiasts alike. The Wave series continues to expand the popular Sky-Watcher family, offering versatile performance in both equatorial (EQ) and alt-azimuth (AZ) tracking modes.

Weighing only 4.3kg, the Wave 100i is designed for portability and can support up to 10kg of equipment (15kg with the optional counterweight kit). It is housed in a durable foam case for easy transportation. The mount offers a range of features, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, RA and DEC home position functions, and a red backlight for easy alignment.

Unique Features:

• Dual Saddles: Ideal for solar photographers and eclipse chasers, the Wave 100i includes a second saddle, allowing you to mount up to 10kg of gear on each saddle in Alt-Az mode.
• Fast Tracking: Track satellites and the ISS with a maximum rotation speed of 10° per second using the Satellite Tracker application available for Windows PC.

Key Features:

• Strainwave Drive Technology: This advanced technology delivers smooth and precise tracking without the need for heavy counterweights, providing an optimized platform for celestial imaging.
• High Load Capacity: Despite its compact size, the Wave 100i supports up to 10kg of equipment per saddle, or 15kg in EQ mode with the optional counterweight kit.
• Hassle-Free Connectivity: Compatible with Sky-Watcher SynScan controllers or the SynScan app, the mount can be controlled manually or wirelessly. It also works with external platforms like ASIAir, Eagle, and StellarMate for advanced automation.
• Illuminated Scales: Red LEDs illuminate the latitude and longitude scales, making it easy to set up the mount in dark conditions.
• RA Emergency Brake: An automatic RA brake engages after power-off, ensuring the safety of your equipment by preventing uncontrolled movement.
• Home Position Function: Quickly return to default RA and DEC positions, simplifying alignment and calibration.
• Software Compatibility: The mount is compatible with popular astronomy software like Stellarium, SkySafari, Cartes du Ciel, and works with third-party drivers like ASCOM and INDI.
