SkyWatcher Wave 100i Kit
Harmonic Drive Sky-Watcher Wave 100i EQ/AZ mount up to 15kg load capacity. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. This kit includes the carbon tripod and the half column.
Sky-Watcher Wave 100i EQ/AZ Harmonic Drive mount for astrophotography and observation equipped with harmonic reducer transmission. Equipped with double Vixen/Losmandy mount, ideal for supporting 1 or 2 medium diameter optical tubes even simultaneously.
Weighing just 4 kg, the Sky-Watcher Wave 100i mount features a harmonic reducer transmission, ideal for supporting even heavy tubes without the need for counterweights.
The particular structure, unique in its kind, allows the simultaneous connection of two optical tubes for incredible photography and observation sessions. This particular technique also allows to increase the load capacity of the main optical tube by over 30%.
With the new Sky-Watcher Wave 100i mount, the new frontier of long-exposure astrophotography is finally within everyone's reach. The particular construction scheme of the harmonic motion reducers present in the Sky-Watcher Wave mounts allows to maintain high compactness and, at the same time, to reach a high load capacity. even without counterweights : without a counterweight it is possible to use the Sky-Watcher Wave mount with optical tubes weighing up to 10kg. When used with a counterweight, the load capacity increases to approximately 15kg.
The Harmonic Drive AR and DEC motors ensure, in addition to a high payload, also a smooth and backlash-free operation. The reduction on the AR and DEC axes is 300:1.
Minimalist design with attention to detail and body made of AL6061 aluminum alloy worked with CNC technique.
Wired connectivity thanks to the USB-B port, the RJ45 socket for connecting the Sky-Watcher SynScan keypad, as well as the autoguiding system with RJ12 port. Also equipped with a SNAP connector for connecting cameras directly to the mount.
The additional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth features ensure stable and easy-to-setup connectivity with almost all commercially available hardware and software devices, especially with the Sky-Watcher SynScan PRO app for iOS and Android devices.
The Sky-Watcher Wave mount requires 12V for regular operation, with a tracking consumption of approximately 0.4A and up to 1.8A during GOTO phases.
The optical tubes can be mounted with both Losmandy CGE and Vixen CG5 type dovetail bars.
The mount's rich features are completed by the complete RA axis lock to facilitate the safe mounting of counterweights and the setting of the HOME position. The mount is also equipped with red LED lighting for the bubble level and the latitude indicator to facilitate viewing even in the dark.
