EQ/AZ Harmonic Drive Sky-Watcher Wave 150i mount with large load capacity for traveling astrophotographers. With a weight of around just 6kg, the Sky-Watcher Wave 150i mount is equipped with a transmission with harmonic reducer, ideal for supporting even heavy tubes without the need for counterweights.

With the new Sky-Watcher Wave 150i 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 maintaining high compactness and, at the same time, achieving a high load capacity even without counterweights: without a counterweight it is possible to use the Sky-Watcher mount Wave with optical tubes weighing up to 15Kg. In case of use with counterweights, the load capacity increases to approximately 25kg.

The harmonic drive motors from AR and DEC guarantee, in addition to a high payload, also smooth and backlash-free operation. The reduction on the AR and DEC axes is 300:1.

Minimalist design with attention to detail and with 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 control panel, 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 guarantee stable and easy-to-configure 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 only 12V for regular operation, with a consumption during the tracking phase of approximately 0.4A and up to 2A during the GOTO phases.

The connection of the optical tubes is possible with both Losmandy CGE and Vixen CG5 type dovetail bars.

The rich functions of the mount are completed by the complete locking of the RA axis to facilitate the assembly of the counterweights safely and easily, intelligent wiring management, setting of the RA and DEC limits and also the setting of the HOME position. The mount is also equipped with red LED lighting for the spirit level and the latitude indicator to facilitate viewing even in the dark.
