Here are two new images I took with the 90T a few days ago. They are nothing great being that I'm in a highly light polluted area. This was mostly a test of...
New glass is being melded now that is slightly larger for our 5" apo triplet. I will not make a formal annoucement until all customers waiting for an SV5 get...
Excellent images Steve. I really like the pairing of M106 and the Owl nebula. The wide field of view offered by your setup will allow some stunning images of...
Very interesting camera. It's amazing that Orion can offer the camera at so low a price but something probably had to be compromised to do that. My guess is...
Excellent image Derek... The color of the stars and M27 is fantastic. Its amazing what a difference a dark sky makes. I shot a set of images at the WSP in Feb...
Nice job Brian and beautiful scope. Before you ditch the focal reducer, you may want to try different spacings. Most are designed to operate at a design...
Hi Dave, Dave, thanks for the link for the Sky Commander manual. I will browse the posts and see what I can find re: the tripod. I guess the LXD's tripod...
Hi Rich, Good advice on keeping the Meade for sky parties and public events. Didn't think of that. Re: filing the dovetail: I think I know what you mean....
Might there be anyone out there, who has utilized the Televue Telepod for mounting the S90TBV (which I have on order), or a very similar scope, who might ...
Nice images, indeed. What are you seeing to suggest that the scope performs better without the 0.8x focal reducer? The stars at the corners of the image look...

Hi Alan, I have used my Telepod and also a Gibraltar mount for my SV80DL and SV102EDS scopes. It is serviceable but not great. You can not point at the zenith...
Hello everyone, I know that for serious viewing I will use a stronger mount but was wondering if it is easy to connect a 80mm Stellarvue scope with its ...
Thanks Jim and Jon, The stars towards the edges were somewhat elongated so I cropped a good portion of the image out of the two I took. I had imaged before...

Tony: I use Vixen dovetails with my scopes, and thread a mountig plate to that. However, Most andard plates that come with Manfrotto/ Bogen heads should still...
Hi, Alan. I mounted my sv90tbv on my telepod when I first got it and found it to be too light to carry that weight. It was a little improved when I put the...
Finally! A good night for imaging. This is maybe the third time out in 3 months... Everything seemed to go smoothly, but I still had to throw out 1/3 of the...
Thanks very much Darren. Tony ... that. However, Most andard plates that come with Manfrotto/ Bogen heads should still work with the clamshell on the scopes. ...
