It sounds silly on such a wide-field scope, but I found that a Red Dot Finder really made my sv66 much easier to use. I used the Stellarvue MRF and the...
I'll definately have to play with mine, but I think a red dot finder may be the way to go. I think I may check and see if SV has a clamshell that may fit it &...
Another very happy NHII owner! It really is a fantastic scope! Your post reminds me of mine the very first time I used my NHII. Mary ... ozzzy@... ... light'...
Hi Todd, I'm waiting on my NHNG too. Have you got a delivery date yet? In my case I am still waiting on a delivery date. Vic forwarned me I would have to wait...
On second thought, a clamshell probably won't work. I think I'll either use double sided tape or the little screw hole on the scope like you guys suggested. ...
Great review David! I can't wait to get my SV66 which is due to arrive on Wednesday. This of course means it's forecast to be perfectly clear because I'll...

Well... I just returned from 2+ weeks of visiting relatives (my father in law celebrated his 90th) and when I checked the SV site -- Holy Erfles! NHNG's and...
David, Very nice review...perhaps you might consider reviewing a broad range of scopes and equipment. I think S & T could use your help! -Curt [Non-text...
Great job again, as usual, David! This really made for an informative, yet quite entertaining read, and I especially enjoyed your photos. Thanks for sharing!...
Hey all, I finally have got first light with this little "black beauty". Started rather early to give the scope time to cool properly. The sky was maybe 6/10...
Jon, thanks for that great first light. I don't know what it means either but very Stellarvue scope I have from achromats to doublet apos show the star test...
Great catch on the Trap stars Tom! I've seen both e an f stars with my SV102ABV, but never at the same time. David E ... From: "thms_dll" <thms_dll@...> ...
Thanks Vic! (and everyone else) I'll post some links to any images I take using the SV66 on this forum. I can still guide in RA so I may try that the next...
Jon: Thank you for your great first light report. It is wonderful to have consistently glowing reports on our new Next Gen telescopes. These take a rather long...
David: Thank you for doing this. I have wanted someone other than me to do this comparison. Since these two telescopes are similarly sized (the 66 being...
Tom: Nice grab! I wish that my conditions were so optimal! ;-) Meanwhile, it's nice to hear that you're getting out there. What?! didn't stay up for Saturn?...
Hi Jim, Very well stated. I,like yourself, came to Stellarvue via what is now called a NH Classic. And like yourself I still have it even as I have moved on to...
