Hi Vic, Sounds like RTMC was a great success. The Nighthawk on the MI mount was a hoot! The SV115 in blue looks pretty nice. I'm tempted. At first look I ...

Saturday I had my Nighthawk out for a public night one of the club members with a nice 16" DOB kept sending people over to look through my scope. "Go look...
Hey Vic, This may be a silly question, but is the dewcap on the 102 APO white or black. There are two different photos shown on the website and in the catalog....
Jim and all others thankyou for your inputs about the NightHawk. I am still leaning towards the Nighthawk and possibly the deluxe version. I still have more...
Hi Richard, I've viewed through both a Nighthawk (which I own) and an 80/9D. They're both great scopes. The Nighthawk will give a wider field of view than...
Good question. After NEAF we improved the 102APO by giving it the same dewcap and lens flange as the SV4. SO all our scopes now look the same and have the same...

Jeff: Very good reply. We took the Deluxe Complete System off the site when my cabinet maker told us he could no longer make the Stablelock Tripods. We are now...

To Vic, Jeff and the others that have responded so far, thanks. Vic I am now leaning towards the 80/9D deluxe kit to start. I may then order a barlow and...
The SV4 will work with binoviewer but you need either the powerswitch or OCS. This will extend the focal length slightly. This is no problem on the shorter...
