Good evening- Last night I decided to set up my Stellarvue 90T (on an alt-az mount, since most of my gear was packed up from a failed observing trip this past...
Thanks for everyone's input. The 8mm Ethos comes much closer to the mirror than the 13mm or my other 2" eyepieces. The diagonal I'm using is a Stellarvue...
Thanks Dave. Could you tell me how to do that or direct me toward an appropriate tutorial? I would love to learn a new technique that fixes this problem. Hank...
I am almost 100% sure (99.99%?) that all FT focusers can be removed by unscrewing them from the tube. I've had mine off my SV105 many times. Whether removing...
Hi Tom, Good to hear from you.., As it is when shipped, the stated physical length of the SV115T35 is 24.75" - the airline maximum length is 25". However, in...
Randy: No apology required! ;-) That's a nice setup - pics like that are what this group is all about! I look forward to your McNaught report with that new...
Hello Wade, Good to hear from you.., Thanks for that information - I don't as yet own the scope. I need to know if it is possible to do this before deciding to...

Randy, I received my SV115T20 several months ago and am just as enthusiastic as you are about its quality and performance. As Len said, if I could only have...

Randy, Welcome back. I remember your visit to J-Tree many years ago. You, David O., Anders, Steve P., Vic and several others made a then new SV owner (me)...
Hank - are you using a field flattener? The spacing between your imaging chip and the flattener may not be the correct distance. Clear skies, Dave ... ...
A good time was had by all. The weather was supposed to be cloudy on the bonus night (Wednesday) so I did not set up in that day. I brought my CGE mount and...
Hi guys Does anyone know if I can directly mount the Orion 9x50 RACI on the clamshell of my SV102ED2? There aren't any delears carrying the SV F50 finder here...
Tech 2000 is not a Stellarvue dealer. If anyone was told that I would appreciate a private email off this forum. I did notice they are selling super achromats...
I have one mounted directly to the clamshell of my SVR80ED. Do not order any of Orion s optional adaptors, they do not work. I purchased the base to fit the...
I agree...this was one of the best star parties I've attended. The combination of great and diverse people, wonderful weather and facilities and remarkable...
George - yes, great star party! Hope you got some good images with your DSLR. We had three excellent nights of observing with clear skies. Great group of...

Dave: I need to coordinate with you to get that disk from Vitskaia so we can post lotsa pictures. Let me know by private email how to pull that off. Thanks Vic...
Yes but I think only Preston's Edmund 60 saw it. Man what a scope! Just kidding Next year we hope there is not a volcano in Iceland and we have less dust in...
Vic, Besides having to become an All Star what is the cost for the trip? Ron SW Florida SVR80ED ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I will have that up in a day or two. We reserve ten campsites right next to the observing field, cater four dinners and have the resort turn out all lights...
