Sky-Watcher Wave 150i
High-capacity equatorial or alt-azimuth tracking
The Sky-Watcher Wave 150i combines a compact 5.8 kg body with a payload capacity of up to 15 kg without counterweights and 25 kg with optional counterweights. Its 300:1 harmonic drive delivers high torque and supports both equatorial and alt-azimuth configurations. Dual-axis motors provide tracking, slewing, guiding and GOTO pointing, controlled from a mobile device or ASCOM-compatible software.
