-
Utilizing precise, no-backlash, high-torque strain wave gearing, the Sky-Watcher Wave 150i GoTo Mount 33 lb Payloadis a compact but highly capable motorized GoTo mount for your optical tube assembly. The mount weighs just 12.8 pounds but can support a 33-pound payload with no counterweight and 55 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 a D/V saddle 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.

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.
Designed for the serious astroimager, the Wave 150i mount features through-mount cabling and a powered hub built into the saddle with ports for autoguiding, Dec USB, and 2 Dec outputs. The RA hub sits at the back of the mount and never moves, keeping all your cabling neat, organized, and safe from snags.
