The Shenzhou 6 looks more like an ESA copy than anything else. I love the clean slick design of the 40+ year old Saturn. The others look too much like...
Confirmed my order this morning with Natascha so I assume my TRAVELHAWK was shipped and is on it's way here to VA. Now if I can just ward off the "New Scope...
David, All you need to do is read the review in October's Astronomy Magazine. The Orion 102ED tested arrived with pinched optics must be a common problem...
Mary, The problem is all to often these people have not spent any time behind the eyepiece of the scope they are passing judgement on. I own a 152mm f6.5...
Good idea! I'll work on it when I get mine. David E ... From: "C. Brian Batey" <bayoufretless@...> To: <Stellarvue@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, October...
Yes, well David, I think you'll get your wish. One thing for sure, it'll tell the tale for a 1st. light test on bright objects. Personally I'm anxious for New...
Hello, I own an M1 mount with the MECS extension column. I have the 3/8-16 mounting bolt that fits the MECS. The TA tripod has a 5/8-11 mounting bolt, which...
Dail, I ordered mine with the Losmandy dovetail shoe upgrade for the M1 as I have a GM-8 I use for AP. I already have the DUP for mounting the SV70 on top of...
Hi all, this is my first post and have been reading this forum for about 3 months now. Having just sold my meade LX200 and other Astro stuff I now have enough ...
David, You also have a lot of "self styled" experts on CN. The review of the AT 102ED is just the latest example. The reviewer assumes Tele Vue uses FPL-53....
Hi Don, The 3/8-16 mounting bolt will work just fine; that is as long as it is long enough to fit through the rectangular aluminum brace and still screw into...
I have mine right here next to me but, looking outside all I see is clouds and cold rainy weather. :( On a positive note, the Travel Hawk flew through airport...
David, You are absolutely correct. Too often people just sit and talk about specs and the where, whens and hows of telescope and glass manufacturing. The...
Hi Bob, Congrats on your purchase! Please let us know when you receive it and what you think of it before and after it is under the stars! I also have one of...
Hey! It looks like quite a few of you have ordered and are now getting your SV70EDs! I'll be looking forward to all your reports on your scopes when you...
Okay, here is my question of the day. I have never looked thru an apo triplet. I have been thinking selling my 102ED and get a SV 90. But then the 110 shows...
Don, Yes & it depends. Yes, triplets really are that good. I have an SV-80S, which on bright objects like the Moon and planets can more than give my SV-102A...
Hi Don, It does make a difference! I had a SV102D with the attenuated coating similar to the new 110ED, but using a lesser quality objective glass. ...
Darn you Vic ! I was ready to order a 102Ed and then you dangled the 110ED in front of me! At least this was announced BEFORE I ordered the 102ED--- I am...
I just did a search of the messages here and it didn't turn up an announcement about our October Imaging Seminar. Looks like I didn't post it, sorry! There are...
I have an SV80S along with an SV102BV (also f/8.7 same lens as Jim's SV102A Vic?) side by side on bright objects like the Moon or Jupiter the smaller triplet...
I really wish I could have been there, but unfortunately (fortunately?), I had a wedding to photograph during the day and a high school reunion job to shoot...
Len: Thanks for another great post. If one is deciding between the three scopes: 102ED: Doublet ed with very good correction and high transmission coating. ...
You are welcome Bob. Glad the event was successful and congrats on your sales of 115T's and other products. We promised to start to deliver first of the 115T's...
Hey everyone! Well, it's been a cool evening/early morning time lately up north. close to freezing It will definitely take some time to aclimate, but the skies...
