Sleep is highly over-rated. Actually I get about 6 hours whether I need it or not. So here I am at 5:30 having my first cup of coffee and getting ready to head...
This is something I will need to show you in Hawaii. It is only visible when one has not had sleep and is suffering from the influence of high altitude....
Ben: Thank you for your post. We really enjoy reading these posts and I always share them with the crew. They keep us motivated to do our best. Clear skies Vic...
Keeping mine crossed too! Happy Civic Holiday, whatever that is. Also, it turns out not one but TWO large objects have been discovered past Pluto: one about...

1. Some binoc reviewers say that individual eyepiece focusing is better than bridge focusing because you can't accidentally push one eyepiece out of focus when...
All I can say is well done Vic. There are going to be some very happy SV owners. I for one am most greatful for the work you do. Even if impatient at times. ;)...
Yes upgrade. Only takes a few minutes. The explaining however will probably take a little longer. Robert La Porte, IN ... kill me ... colors. > ... 115's...
Good morning members! Well, thankfully the sky gods permitted me a nice reprieve from the cloudy weather in the evening!!! YES!!!! ;-) I began my session at...
One of the nicest things about being a Stellarvue owner is the sense of community you feel with your fellow owners. This past weekend the Three Rivers...
We all know that Vic goes the extra mile in star-testing each and every scope he ships. We also know that he over-engineers his scopes and accessories ...
I once had my Radian eyepiece jump out of the focuser and do a summersault one-and-one-half back flip with full twist, nailed the landing on the concrete...
Depends on the quality of the center focus (CF) on a given model. Some slip, other don't. Individual focus (IF) seems to hold better on my SV binos than my...
Hi all. Thinking about the 80 9/d as a second scope. It will most likely be used much more often than my 8" f/6 dob. I just don't have more than 30 minutes to...
WoooHooo! Mars is going to good this year. Even better for me now that I have larger and better refractors to use over the '03 apparition. I am not sure if we...
David, I have 10x50's and the SV15x63 binoculars. I don't have a tripod to mount them on so I'm writing from my experiences. I have no trouble holding the...
Hi Jason, I recently purchased a SV80/9D as my first ever scope. I find it to be very portable and much easier to use than I expected. I have several...
David, I forgot to mention that my 10x50's are bridge focusing and the 15x63's individual eyepiece focusing. I don't find either a problem except if you are...
... C'mon Jeff, it can take it! I just re-roofed my garage using the Nighthawk and SV diagonal to drive the nails in the shingles ;-) Seriously, on a related...
... Yes, you can! A member of our local club (TAS in Dallas) organized a fund-raising effort to buy one for a local school and I see it now and then at school...
Darren, Thanks! Very good report! I'll have to give Mars a look soon. I find that my SV105 can go quite deep on the globulars, too. It seems that if I give...
