Hi All, I did it went and placed an order for a Stellarvue AT1010 Nighthawk. The new scope gets here Thursday and when the "New Scope Clouds" clear I'll post...

I think I agree with Uncle Rod :) The Orion 80ST is just a brilliant scope (maybe I just got lucky with the optics). I had a similar scope (Skywatcher 80ST)...
I beg to differ with Rod. I own both AT1010 and ST80. Mechanics aside, the AT1010 is much better optically too. The optics are figured, polished and coated to ...
... What method of optical testing did you employ to ascertain the quality of the figure ? Ditto for the polish .... Oh yeah .... and the coatings too. ?????? ...
Bill. I donīt wanna start a AT1010 vs ST80 war here. As I wrote I have both and even after purchasing AT1010 did not sell my ST80. I still use both. How did I...

Dave, The AT1010 is an 80mm f6 built by a small California company called Stellarvue http://stellarvue.com and to many it is the best short tube achromat on...
I'm not looking to start a war either. I was planning to give an 80f5 to my daughter. I even bought an Orion ST80 to give to her. Informal testing convinced...
I hope this will be of interest to the group, especially non-US members ... It may sound strange, but an important consideration for me when I bought an AT1010...
Didn't mean to start a war, either. I posted to the wrong group. I do have an 80f5 that I want to convert to a solar scope if someone can tell me how to get...

It is easy as Stan said. The only thing I may add is when you are at it, you can paint the threads that enter the tub and the nuts with flat black paint. This...
... I've seen pictures of a 70mm F7.14 (70x500mm) which would show less color than an 80mm F6.25. Scope was made by Synta under the "Sky Watcher" brand and...
I ordered an 80-AT from Apogee today. Will make a full report on it when I get it. What it does with my artificial star, etc. Curious to see what the quality...
Jerome, It will be interesting to see if the Widestar 80AT really is the same scope at the old G185. Not that I am in the market for another short tube I gave...
Thanks for the advice. However, I think one of the nuts dropped into the tube. How do I get it out? I'd like to get it out of there whether or not I use the...
... I got it yesterday (Tuesday) and was able to give it a thorough testing. For what you get it is a bargain although quality is not up to the levels of...

I have to agree with Rod on this one. Last year I purchased a Helios Startravel 80 for the annular solar eclipse, mounting it on an EQ3-2 with clock drive for...
Gordon, Actually I did consider the Megrez but it's $250 more than the Stellarvue AT1010. I have never looked through a Megrez but had looked through the...
