Well the weather here in SW Florida has been less than favorable since my new Raptor arrived but my impatience started wearing on me so a few buddies and I...
Great review, I'm really considering on purchasing the Raptor once I come across some finances to go along with my XT8. Despite the small apature, you can't go...
Food for thought here. I run a moderately long tube SV102V (f/7.8) on a CG5 GoTo. I also run my C9 1/4 on it as well. I find that while the weight of the C9...
Yes, it's true. If the SV name goes on the scope, it gets the individual star testing (3!) routine. Scopes that don't make the cut are returned to the OEM...

Derek, Thanks for defining the problem. CRES is exactly what I "suffer" from. I don't which is worse; the itch caused by the wanting or the itch caused by...
Hi Kit, Hi Jim, Thanks for reminder about balancing the scope. I realize that not many people on the Stellarvue site know this, but I my college degree is in...
... Give Stellarvue a call. Every now and then a,"Blem" scope becomes available. It will usually have a minor cosmetic problem but will be optically...
I'm not frustrated waiting for my telescope. I ordered my SV130 November 2, 2007, and I know when I get it, it will be perfect. Thanks for doing a good job...
I've done some reading since taking this image, and wondering if a UV/IR filter would help in fettering-out a bit more detail. According to author Robert...

Great review. I have a 30mm Paragon as well, and it is well matched for, and a wonderful skysweeper in my NHNG. The 40mm Paragon is almost as good, but the...
When out this past morning and decided to image Mars with the SV110ED-APF and the DMK21AU04 camera despite the fact that the planet's apparant diameter is...
I agree Larry, the 30mm is a great eyepiece. I am really excited about my new Raptor as well as the Vixen Porta II Mount. Balancing the scope is a breeze and...

Ralph - thats a great shot. And I love the rest of your gallery. The swan is awesome, as are your shots of M31 and Jupiter. Thanks for posting... keep up the...
uthin8er: You'll love the SV80ED versions Vic has out - these are fantastic, esp. with the FT focuser upgrade. A truly superb scope and value! Merry Xmas in...
Thanks for the kind words Rob, but that gallery is a group effort. I have some Jupiter and Lunar images, but the rest was done by other imagers working to...
I saw that too, very nice indeed! :-) David E ... From: "Wong Moses" <junglemania64@...> To: <Stellarvue@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, November 09, 2009...
