Sky-Watcher Wave 100i Overview

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.

Sky-Watcher Wave 100i Reviews

Great Mount, Terrible Weather.

By Russell
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-12-27

I've been using a Skyguider Pro with iOptron for over a year. I bought this mount after a ton of research, and so far, it's fantastic. I haven't had any issues with it to date. If I could just get some decent star-viewing weather, but here in western Oregon, it'll be the end of March before it stops raining.

See any errors on this page?

Is this mount compatible with sky-watcher EQ ...

Is this mount compatible with sky-watcher EQ steel tripod? Any other tripod options besides the carbon one?
Asked by: Paul
The Sky-Watcher Wave 100i GoTo Strain Wave Mount (22 lb Payload), BH # SKS30900, works with the recommended Sky-Watcher Wave Carbon Fiber Tripod (BH # SKS30910). It will also mount to the Sky-Watcher EQ6 Wave Steel Tripod (BH # SKS30918).
