The Sky-Watcher 100i is modeled upon strain wave design, commonly referred to as harmonic. These type of mount mechanics come packed with a number of advantages for astrophotography, including very accurate precision tracking which is pertinent for longer exposure imaging, low backlash and smooth motion for stable tracking, compact designs for easier transport and a relatively high payload to weight ratio to accomodate a much wider range of equipment.

The Sky-Watcher Wave 100i weighs only 9.5 lbs, yet it can withstand a native payload capacity of 22 lbs without counterweights, but up to 33 lbs with a countweight.

The Wave 100i has a transmission ratio of 300:1, which represents a relatively high level of tracking and slewing accuracy since motor torque and rotation is divided into smaller increments, lessening any impact of jolts between rotations that could be apparent the longer exposures become. The maximum slew rate of the 100i is 2400x (10° per second).

The Sky-Watcher Wave 100i has a working latitude range of 0° to 90°, meaning it can be operated successfully at any latitude and doesn't suffer from limitations on more traditional gear mounts with counterweight obstruction and zenith out of range.

The Wave 100i supports sideral, lunar and solar tracking. This means it can be reliably used for nighttime astrophotography, moon capture and stunning solar imaging!
