Sky-Watcher Wave 150i Strain Wave Mount REVIEW 🔭

The Sky-Watcher Strain Wave 150i
I've been testing this mount non-stop for about two weeks. With successful nights of deep-sky astrophotography under my belt - it feels like the Wave 150i is a winner.
I hope you enjoyed the reveal (and that it wasn't too intense) - I've been sitting in this chair too long and need sleep. I think it comes out next month - and you can order it from Agena: bit.ly/4b1WEoA
